Yep. Straight line. I ran the Detroit half marathon last month and,
obviously, lost the signal in the tunnel under the Detroit River. The
Garmin filled it in with a straight line. On the other hand, I've lost the
signal under trees while making a turn on a large square course, and it
filled that in with a big arc.
As others have said, it's not a perfect device, but then I'm not in Olympic
training or anything. If you need exact, then take exact measurements. It
does a nice job of 'close eough.'

Quoted message said:While you're at it, one more question.
Do the sporting GPS receivers like the Foretrex measure the
entire running distance even when they temporarily lose
satellite reception? Do they assume a straight line across the
gap?That would make some sense.
