It cant be the time, its supposed to switch in tunnels etc.

Geeze... how you gonna get a solid fix in a tunnel anyway?

You dont need to. The better GPS systems do an excellent
job of interpolating between solid fixes so what the user sees
doesnt change when there is a lack of solid fixes for while.
That works very well indeed with tunnels and
concrete canyons in the CBS of major cities etc.
Give a much better effect than just giving up when there is no solid fix
available.
It can still give you the usual turn by turn instructions as you are nearing the
end of the tunnel for what to do as you emerge from the tunnel so what the
user sees is seamless. Much better way of doing things than just stopping
giving the user the usual map display because it cant get a solid fix.
The better GPSs do have some mechanism to show the current set of
satellites that it can see etc.

Some GPS units have a feature called "Dead Reckoning" or perhaps another

name but the principle is the same. It uses the overall time/distance
equation to calculate the speed and keeps it on that path throughout a
tunnel and/or other satellite hindering objects until it receives a signal
once again. I've never had the opportunity to view the accuracy of that
feature.
