These last days I experience really strange GPS behaviour.  
Sometimes the sequence just goes straight off, even on bicycle.  
I use a Gopro Hero 7  
Is there a war going on ?  
Anyone else ?

Are you in eastern Europe? A peaceful country has a tendency to disturb GPS signal, even in peace time.

Is disturbing the GPS signal technically possible at all? (I doubt it)

That said, no problem here, and I am even on the other side of the iron curtain.

Most certainly yes, it can even be faked.  
I forgot the GPS history details, but it was originally not civilian.
