How reliable is the GPS unit?

Hi, since I often use my phone for navigation on my bicycle, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me how reliable the GPS of their Lumia 930 is when walking or riding through forests? I've read the Lumia 930 review on notebookcheck.net, and the GPS test in that review showed that the reviewer's unit had completely lost its GPS connection as soon as he entered a relatively small patch of forest, which doesn't look particularly dense as the road is still clearly visible between the trees. My two-year old Xperia Acro S has no difficulty whatsoever to keep a usable GPS connection even during extended rides through rather dense forests, so I'm kind of concerned about whether or not the Lumia 930 could replace my old phone when it comes to navigation.
