Comment(by jeremy):

 Hi, as I observed, the gps chip seems to get a fix as possible as based on
 the signals it received. I tried to hold at the same position under good
 environment to get a fix, it started with a non-precise but close fix then
 quickly drift to precise position. Then I walked toward to and along
 building edges with not really good environment, it happened to lost the
 fix and got a worse non-precise fix soon again, back and forth.  The logs
 are attached.
 It indeed is affected based on degrees of Surrounding conditions, but
 that's chip's behavior. We may ask vendor and compare with other products
 to distinguish it's an issue or not.
