04 TL Google maps keeps saying "GPS signal lost"

I bought this car recently lost and the Google maps and overall signal was fine in my 2010 TSX but it seems like this vehicle is having difficulty with signal. Any ideas?

My phone signal doesn't seem very good in this car. Whenever I use Google Maps in it the directions get interupinted with "signal lost". Any ideas of what could be going on?

Is your your car tinted? If it is then it could be the metal type tint that messes with your signal

What they said.

There is otherwise nothing of note that would interfere with cell reception in this car.

Is the FRONT windshield tinted? ifaik, tint affects the radio signal/NAVI signal because the navi antenna is UNDER the rear window and the radio antenna is built into the rear window, so yes it would make sense that those signals are directly affected.

Especially true if it's ceramic tint.
