Is it like a phone and do you risk losing the signal and consequently any relevant info?
How can you accurately test walks with lots of blocks of flats?

Luckily no blocks of flats on my round either, made it a bit easier. I don't know if it would be possible to measure a walk with flats on it using GPS, as there would be a lot of indoor walking in a small space.
