I think that's a problem with Google Maps, I have noticed I am getting
rather inaccurate measurements when following my walks on Maps. It gets
a bit better if I actually use the application during the walk, but if I
don't it will just guesstimate my location and sometimes be hundreds of
meters off the target.

I can't confirm that neither for Androids nor iPhones.
