    @Herman-Veldhuizen ...then you are lucky.
    The reasons are:

    • Navigation systems can also interpolate their own position from direction and speed. But that only works in straight tunnels.
    • In some tunnels are so called beacons installed, by this navigation systems can also calculate the actual position (in GoogleMaps, this option must be activated in settings).
    • In other tunnels there may be TunnelSat installed. This is an advanced tunnel GPS system that extends reliable satellite navigation underground, delivering accurate, real-time positioning signal.

    It depends on the tunnel operator.

    @Guzzist the fact that it worked in all tunnels made me think that HERE maybe has made an improvement (i assume a newer version of the sdk is used since I last tried it). The cursor followed the tunnel shape.
    I will soon drive through the tunnel again in which I know MRA was struggling.
    I dont think that I made any changes on my phone to settings to improve the gps accuracy.

      Never knew about the beacons in tunnels or activation in settings. Just activated mine in Google maps. Thanks for that.

          i drove through many tunnels in Norway today, including the 25km long Laerdals tunnel. MRA worked without a glitch inside these tunnels, no spinning, no jumping to roads above the tunnel. This is with the 5.0.3 version. I even had a shaping point inside one of the tunnels and that worked as well.

          I had exactly the same experience when I was in Norway last year. I also couldn't remember any problems in any oher tunnel I ever used: Neither in the alps, nor in the german tunnels like Elbtunnel.
