But when it comes to sawtooth correction, I used another approach in my
design. It seems that the combination of high frequency input from GPS
module, the clock jitter of Raspberry Pi Pico GIO and Kalman filter is
able to smooth/smudge this problem. Not for 100%, but I am working hard
on it.

Every time I see something like that, I start thinking about hanging
bridges. :)

And that most people overlook that the average of hanging bridges is not zero.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
