Yeah, @hans1 is _mostly_ right. He’s correct enough for your question/issue, but I’ll clarify one small detail…

[Updates on March 30, 2022 (Release 536)](https://community.citystrides.com/t/updates-on-march-30-2022-release-536/24644) changed the underlying data structure of activities in a way that made processing _way_ faster and not based entirely on GPS _coordinates_ but rather the overall path of the activity.  
You can conceptualize this by mentally adding a 25 meter buffer around the line of your activity, changing its shape from a few pixel line into a kind of oval-ish blob that might look something like this:  
 ![Example from PostGIS ST_Buffer](https://d25dflut6m8e53.cloudfront.net/original/2X/6/6fd97a91dbbedd4299a788f160ff293d54cd7577.png)  
So _any_ nodes within that red buffer area would be marked as complete - it wouldn’t matter where on the blue line your GPS coordinates were actually placed.

In your case, the GPS signal cut out & a straight line was drawn between the point where it dropped & it reconnected. _If_ that tunnel had been straight and coincidentally matched that straight line, then those nodes in between would have been marked as complete - because the system looks at your _overall route_ to determine which nodes it completes.
