GPS Guidance Problems

Does anyone else have GPS guidance that is incorrect and will get you lost?

I've only used it twice and it worked fine both times. It does seem a bit slow indicating intersections at times, but that could be because I zoom it out pretty far.

Last year we took our early production 2014 C7 to Florida and to northern New Hampshire with no problems. I was amazed at it's accuracy and ability to warn of traffic problems/delays. I installed the updated software in February before leaving for Florida this year and found the map detail is greatly improved. I have encountered a couple of problems though. First, the update reset the menus to the factory settings which I was not aware of until we were returning from Florida. It kept telling me to exit Rt 95 for no apparent reason [shortest vs. fastest route]. The second problem concerns Rt 78 in western New York that runs north/south through Erie and Niagara county. When ever I approach Rt 78 on any east/west highway I get an audible warning "approaching limited access highway" which it is not. I've called the software company twice but have not received an explanation yet.

Ugh...navigation in the Corvette leaves a lot to be desired!!! Every time I use it it will direct me to a highway even if it takes me 30-45 minutes out of my way! I have no such issues with the nav in my GMC...go figure.

Loss of GPS Signal

My GPS is always losing signal. If you look at the map at the time my position becomes incorrect and the navigation starts giving crazy turn commands.

Something is wrong with my GPS reception. It losses signal on clear days without any overhead obstruction.
