My GPS-receiver is too good

[Håkan Elmqvist]

As my old GPS-receiver died a quiet death I bought a cheap new one labeled G-MOUSE.
lsusb tells me it is a U-Blox AG [u-blox 7] which is confirmed by dmesg.
Putting the receiver for 5 hours in my garden with a free sky and sending the output of gpspipe -r to a file and filtering the file I see that the indicated position all the time has stayed the same not changing a single digit even if the indicated speed all the time is 0.0724 knots.
My old receiver always wandered around a bit.
Has GNSS become so good and stable or is this some kind of software cosmetics or most probably is there something I haven't understood?
