Hello,
How about filming it with camcorder to duplicate the problem? Be sure you aren't the one holding the camcorder. Borrow a tripod and anchor it one way or other.
Do you have other devices that you are carrying with that might interfere or distort electronically with the navigation system? A familiar example is a certain vacuum cleaner distorting the television signals, rendering programmes unviewable.
