My iPhone nav has continued to work when the car GPS has lost its signals. Even on the charging pad. This has happened a few times to me.If you use Carplay or Android auto, the phone is actually using the car's GPS location in that situation (it is shared digitally with the phone through the wireless link), because the GPS signal would be pretty bad on the charging pad.
GPS by the phone is still possible in the car, the signals can enter through the other windows or roof (I believe the roof is RF transparent?).
