Is it normal for the Sense GPS to be very inaccurate during runs?

Is it normal for the Sense GPS to be this inaccurate during runs? I'm not talking about distance, but rather the actual path that's recorded by the GPS:

I'm running up and down on the same side of the road on a fairly narrow sidewalk, yet the Sense GPS shows as if I was running up and down on opposite sides of the road. It's like this for me on every single run I track.

Hello @dave98235! I have the same issue and I think this is normal for such a small GPS unit to track a tiny sidewalk. If for whatever reason its an error try contacting Fitbit support here.

That's unfortunate. I guess it's also normal that it seems to struggle with any sort of curves (e.g. it often shows my path as cutting through several houses)?

I upgraded to the Sense from a cheap fitness tracker which also exhibited similar issues with it's built-in GPS. I was hoping the Sense would be better in this regard.
