However your GPS is unlikely to continue functioning, updating your position, heading and speed, and show you in the wrong position! Most unlikely indeed!
I've had one update the position but lose the direction, showing me pointing north whatever the real heading was. I didn't bother to look at what groundspeed it was telling me whilst it was in this mood!
