Interesting. A number of years ago google maps on apple didn't behave that way. Then one trip I noticed my wife's maps were freaking out in a city with a lot of large curves and clover leaf onramps.
Of course my android with Google maps behaves as expected, though in a few places with stacked interchanges it can get confused if traffic is moving slow.

I have the same thing happen on Google Maps - on top of my car just spinning in circles, it will also show up 100-300 feet to the right of the road I'm driving on, constantly doing navigation updates to the nearest street. When I unplug from carplay, it's fine, and back on the road, then when I plug it into the car it pops to the right again and starts doing updates.
Never happens on the Apple Maps, although I have 0 trust in siri and apple maps, especially when we travel to europe, i feel like i'm an experiment for apple to see how much off straight forward route it can make me take.
