A couple of days later I unintentionally left the GPS plugged into my

You need a better GPS. Seriously.



No, the GPS is fine. There are things that can and do affect the
accuracy of GPS SYSTEM from time to time.

It likely that, as previously suggested, my location kept me from
getting a sufficient number of satellites.

Still I wonder why it wandered off and then back onto track. I have
never seen this unit do it before or since, and I have used it several
hundred hours.
