I suspect this problem is also a v26 issue but in this case with a longer freeze time before updating. Still much better than earlier versions.
Thanks for your initial report on v26 by the way - very detailed and comprehensive !

No worries, Seedar.
True, regarding the 3 satellites in order to provide a rough position on the surface of the earth, but if all 3 satellites in view are in a similar position in the sky (which occasionally happens) it may have trouble finding your position. I occasionally have times when it is completely off track but it usually sorts itself out after a few minutes. This is something which I've noticed to be independent of the version of the Navigation OS installed.
I guess if it keeps playing up it would be worth looking into.
