Are the others not like this?
In addition to the things commoved mentioned, a lot of the driving software suites have some sort of "snap to road" feature that will move your location to the nearest road (within limits) and assume that's where you are. If you are hiking beside a road, that is incorrect, but not many of the suites let you disable snap-to-road.
