I see exactly the same from GPS locations taken from a Garmin handheld and entered manually - both in Google Earth and in Maemo-mapper. That's why I am convinced it is a mislocation in Google's data.

But I will also try a downloaded route, later today.

That track was recorded in northern Trinidad, 10.6N 61.3W.

I frequently use geographic data and handheld GPSs in my job. I know from experience that Google Earth and Maps can have errors like this.

===============================================

This thread is almost as useful as maemo-mapper itself.

Maybe we can turn it into an FAQ.
