Strange NAV problem
I drove from Virginia to Florida on Friday..... NAV worked perfectly until I got onto I75 South.... then it started coming on just before each exit telling me to take the next exit (it showed me getting off, doing a loop and getting back on). I ignored it but it kept on. I tried cancelling the route and re entering my destination...…. it did the same thing. Once I got off of the interstate it was fine. It didn't do this while I was on I95 or I10
Any thoughts?

I had the same issue, once I got to an interchange it thought I got off the freeway and was on the street and was telling me to take turns as if I was on the street. Once I got off the actual freeway and was on the street it worked fine.
im thinking the GPS locator got confused, which is not a good thing when you going to a location you have never been to before.

I haven't had that happen on the NAV in my '14, but please post up what the issue is if you can find out what it was.

I wonder if some new construction occurred in the last few years and the map in the NAV does not have the info. What you describe above occurs to me when I cross the bridge from Ky to Indiana. The bridge is new so when I am going over it the NAV thinks I am in downtown Louisville for a while.

We should all retain the skill to read maps. Its very surprising the number of people that have never even opened one. Do you have reception everywhere you go, no. Then you don't have NAV either.

I've even had that happen with a Ford Nav. when there wasn't any construction. I wonder if it has something to do with the gps satellite signal losing the location of the car?

plenty of construction on I-75, I believe its been made wider thus it could be the NAV didn't know exactly where you were. It would have been interesting to fire up a nav app on your phone which gets updated constantly as a comparison.
