Straight lines appearing on activity

Hi

I just starting using the 530 and sometimes it stops recording the route I am doing and just has a straight "as the crow flies" line. I didn't get a message saying lost signal/ GPS. Is there another reason this can happen?

    I guess I figured out why the straight lines happen.

    I had never ever applied a manual lap on my 530, but I had a tour of 11 days and I wanted to document how much time I needed to get up to famous passes in Italy and France. So I always applied manual laps on the top.

    And all my activities are shown on GC with straight lines beginning from the locations I pushed the lap button.

    I checked my earlier activities and I could find no other activities with fake straight lines.

    Let me add that in my 3rd party sports software shows properly even those activities which are shown with fake straight lines by GC.

    Therefore I bet that GC cannot interpret (manual and maybe auto) lapping (and maybe pauses, but I never applied autopause or manual pause) for some unknown reasons, at least in case of 530.
