Although filtering now I just got another false alert while parking with perfect GPS situation:

Currently at 51.322430;7.344803 (GPS lock; 10 satellites)

Alert:

Vehicle is being transported while parked - possible theft/flatbed (@51.322502;1.166667)


So it's not a small jitter, it's complete nonsense. That's with GPS from the modem, may be different for car GPS.

We'll need a different approach. Maybe ignore/drop GPS coordinates too far from the last known position?

Regards,
Michael
