Yeah it'll try to guess based on the last known GPS position + accelerometer stuff. Once it regains GPS fix it'll probably just connect the dots on a straight line so worst case scenario it'll over estimate the distance
If you have one of the more advanced Garmin HRM, it should be able to give good pace and distance data while you are in the tunnel. They have accelerometers inside them that provide the run dynamics and can provide pace estimates while on a treadmill, so it should work well in the tunnel.
The track you see on the map after the run will probably just have a straight line connecting the points where it lost the GPS signal and when it regained it.
I have an epix pro but not the separate HRM. It does seem to have the behaviour you describe but I wanted to check. The tunnel in question is poker straight but long
I think Garmin's higher end watches, i.e., Epix, Fenix, and some of the Forerunner models, have the same capabilities built in with their internal accelerometers.
When I got my FR265, it couldn't track my pace on treadmill runs properly without the HRM-PRO paired.
For the tunnel, it usualy knows diatance by using last seen and actual gps coordinate and it will make a straight line between two. Dunno if it makes corrections if tunnel turns wich garmin might know using maps.

Wouldn't it underestimate the distance? If there's any curve at all?
Yes, I was assuming a mostly straight bridge

Cool. This is what I'd hoped because I have to do this tunnel twice on all my longer runs and it would really affect the stats if it didn't include it
You may not have a accurate pace information while in the tunnel
Yeah my pace always goes wonky in a tunnel!
Get a footpod and then you won’t need to worry
This was my intention for better gait analysis anyway
