Yes, there will almost certainly be gaps in the GPS coverage, as most of the time our journeys are in our motorhome, with the phone in my pocket, or worse, in the small storage space in the dashboard just below the radio/CD player. The motorhome has a bed over the cab, which protrudes over the front of the cab, further sheltering us from GPS signals.
Maybe I'll have to get into the habit of stopping at the side of the road, jumping out of the vehicle, and running around a bit - just to keep the GPS happy!
Or maybe I should put my phone in one of the compartments on top of the dashboard, where it would get the same level of GPS signal as our Garmin GPS, which never loses the GPS signal. The Garmin probably has a more sensitive antenna though, as it's in a large device (7" Display).
