If you don't have enough sats in view will it still keep the vehicle at the correct point on the maps?

I am sure it is rare to not have a bunch of sats in view, but it could happen.
It does have a very minor impact to the NAV function but it is negligible - it just makes the maps scroll a little less smoothly when you are traveling at high speed with all the functions enabled. If you use the toggle switch option then in the event of a GPS failure you could just switch it back to factory mode and no problem. Where on earth will you be without at least 2-3 satellites in range? The only place I can think of is underground in a long tunnel, or possibly in a very steep and deep mountain valley, and in those cases you would know where you are at and you wouldn't have a lot of directional options anyway.

Read my report on my mod site for the details. The link is in my signature line.
