Do you use a GPS app in your phone often? This almost looks like it was falling back to AGPS / Skyhook while the almanac was still downloading, which can take half an hour or so.

Once the almanac is downloaded, the phone's GPS track should look much closer to the Garmin's.

If this was a recurring problem then I don't know what to say, other than it doesn't match my experience with RunKeeper on an iPhone 4S.

Well, I have Find My iPhone and 5 other motion trackers (Moves, Argus, Breeze, Human, Nike+) running 24/7 - it's a fair bet my GPS almanac is up to date since they should all be poking the M7 for updates.
