How do you get lost in a tunnel?

Why isnt it run like mobile phone towers...so
could you make solar powered markers that emmits a pinpoint on earth degrees and minutes which the navigation would process and with an internal prediction calculator to assume when you have made a u-turn and so on. Then Global position radio towers that emmit where there is heavy shade and tunnels with a more reliable source of power :/
