It started doing it for me when they upgraded to version 3.

Does Latitude constantly track like a sat nav app would?

Maybe I have the answer...
The car is "jumping" on the map when there is no data or data issue !
I made this video this morning (sorry for the poor quality).
My speed is quite constant.
We can see that there is no data (Waze is in red on top of the screen).
After going to airplane mode and reverting back to standard mode, no more data issue with Waze.
This phenomena can explain why sometimes the car is "jumping" on the map - Maybe the data rate is not enought for client.

That appears to be a result of A-GPS playing catchup. AFAIK, this will be fixed in the new version that will be coming soon-ish.

I've notice this as well.

It comes up on roads that aren't in the properly aliment for where the car is on the road.

So while you drive the car fine on the real road.

he Waze road might be couple meters to one side or more so the car icon is always banging against the waze road gutter shall we say, and everytime this happens the app has to relocate you back onto onto a waze road in order to move you along the road.

If the roads are altered to a better place on teh map you'll see you won't get the stuttering.
