If anyone knows how to improve the way the game tracks your movement I'm interested. My eggs hatch way slower than they should (they registered less than half the distance I traveled). Also, I spent a lot of time trying to interact with a gym because my position kept jumping around it. It was in an area with a lot of trees and maybe my phone (a LG G2) has a terrible GPS, I'm not sure.
In ingress going 5mph or faster kills your walking credit.
For GPS, go to settings / location. You have choices * high accuracy * device only * power saving. For most situations, device only is best. For old phones or if you are among tall buildings, high accuracy is best.
Google has mapped wifi ssids to locations. Power saving uses just that mapping and doesn't use your gps for location. That isn't really usable. It hops from one fixed location to another as you move. High accuracy combines the wifi ssid locations with your gps chip. I call it low accuracy because generally gps is much better so the wifi info is adding noise.
This free app will help you with gps:

Install it, go to device only mode in location, drift will be gone.
