I had an extreme case of that, I had a magnetic Qi charger in the car, 
you could just "chuck" the phone towards it and it would be held in 
place and charge ... except any map application would tend to think I 
was doing 180° turns while stationary at junctions, and correct itself 
after moving off.

But I was thinking of a train journey just last week, where GPS was 
struggling (I was sitting at the end of a carriage with presumably not 
much GPS view of the sky) and it was very keen for recalibration.
