From the few pics, it's hard to draw a conclusion to what's wrong with some of Note 4's GPS issue.
It's not like it's unusable if you use most modern navigation software (it'll mask most issues so the end user never
even realise how poor their GPS is till it looses the signal.)
It's revealing if you can use a software that is able to force smart lane detection off, you'll see lane hopping.
Worse when you're trying to tag places.
Different phones have varying degree of accuracy, even if you have a Note 4 with this issue, it's still totally useable for navigation purpose
and might not ever notice it unless you're trying to contribute to some mapping data where it becomes quite unreliable.
