That's just GPS in general. Not all GPS locks are of equal quality. I have that problem from time to time even using Google Maps for driving; if the drift isn't too bad, Maps can compensate, but it's not that rare for it to suddenly think I'm on a different road and give me instructions to get back to where I actually really am.
As for revenue... Actually, yes, that IS the tradeoff being made, and usually it's the right choice. The people who are most likely to spend money on IAPs are the ones who will put up with the occasional lag spike, because they're already invested in the game. (And odds are they're also enough stronger than a non-IAP player that the lag spike is less likely to be fatal.) EDIT: That is, it's usually the right choice in terms of money. It's not the right choice in terms of making an actual good game, but that's usually a secondary consideration when it comes to mobile software.

But when you literally just started the game, are still in the tutorial, and lags so bad you die? They're making a bad choice because they're not giving players a chance to get invested to where they'll ignore lag (I watched him start the game and complain about lag and all immediately XD)
My character walks in circles too, within a three house radius....never asks if I'm a passenger though, thank god XD | ||||

I ran out of balls, and I don't feel like going outside... Is this one of those first world problems I hear about? I mean, I could get my mother to drive around town slowly...

I never see enough pokemon to run out....and I go by the pokestop enough....every few days, I go down there and wait for like 30 mins, getting the stops each time I can.

My neighbourhood is too much walking for too few stops. Probably a few kilometres for 5 stops.

As of today, I'm only lacking two Pokemon to fill out my Pokedex (not going to count legendaries, region-exclusives and others that Niantic has a shady policy about); Snorlax and Porygon.

Congrats Lavender! I'm not too far off either now ^_^ Just need to get hold of a Chansey, evolve my Dragonair & Togepi and hatch Smoochum & Elekid ^_^ I'm hoping at least one of my 10k eggs will hatch into something I actually need! ^_^;;

Oh, thank you. I didn't count the babies, so that means Igglybuff, Smoochum, Elekid and Magby, too. I got a Chansey randomly by walking by a Pokestop, and it didn't say it was there. I guess they were working out bugs out of Nearby back then.

That was lucky then! I've now got 4 Snorlax as they seem to like me ^_^;; If only they'd hurry up and implement trading as I'd happily send you one of my spares ^_^ One of my 10k eggs hatched into another Magby as they also seem to like me, which is kind of annoying as the nest near where I live has just become a Magmar nest...

I see a lot of Magmars, Scythers, Pinsirs... Hm, what else is rare that I see? Onixes. Where I live, Magmars are like Pidgeys.

Our nest changed to them on new years day, it was a Mankey nest before that but we've only recently found this place ^_^;; We don't get many rares around here but I've caught a few wild Porygon, Electabuzz and Lapras from our house. We don't get much else that's decent around here though or those few all that often (I don't count Mr Mime as they are everywhere) ^_^;; We live in the middle of around 10 spawn points but it's nearly always Spearow, Pidgey, Rattata and Weedle that we get from them when events aren't happening...

Those are still some of the rarest Pokemon. So jealous of your Porygons and Snorlaxes. I get a lot of Jinxes, too. Mr. Mime horrifies me... It's fat, but has thin limbs, and it's also a mime... I've been trying to find out if I have any nests near me.
