What if Samsara has incorrect speed or if GPS assumes the wrong (probably adjacent) road?

Drivers that have not exceeded posted speed limits are receiving reports of severe or heavy speeding. GPS is not always able to tell which roads are being traveled, particularly in densely populated areas where roads may be stacked on top of each other (NYC, Baltimore, DC, etc.). Driver morale suffers when they have been driving impeccably all week and then see their score drop 4 or more points in one day when they were not actually speeding. Getting drivers to go to certain destinations can be a tough sell when they know that their score will drop as a result. Gamification only exacerbates this problem because then the other drivers can see a score drop even though the drop was undeserved. Our drivers are exceedingly competitive, so this inaccuracy has caused some frustration.
