I had another new issue this week. My car was parked overnight at a train station about 12-15 miles from my house Monday-Tuesday. This is an almost weekly routine for me.

This week, however, when I got back to the station and started my car it thought that I was at my home address. The map continued to display my neighborhood and me driving around in what would be the woods (and river) nearby until it finally locked up. Everything else was working normally until then.

The car was in a garage but wasn't really inside. In fact, I was parked in an open enough area that there was some snow on my car.

Anyone else seen this?

I took video to share with Infiniti, as I am doing to document my many problems--that is if they ever call me back in a timely manner.

Perhaps my car was just nostalgic for home.

Perhaps my car was just nostalgic for home.

Or perhaps, it thought you lived at the station, since the car was parked there all the time.

It feels more like I live in various hotels in NYC, but that's another story!

Wow, that's weird. Imagine if it thought you were in the middle of the ocean.

Sounds to me that the GPS was having a difficult time locking onto GPS satellites (there could be several reasons for this), and that it defaults to Home when that happens.

I've had this happen to almost every GPS I've owned (the not locking on immediately part). Every GPS Ive had has dealt with the issue differently. Most of them tell me they can't lock in. I guess I prefer that because I'd rather know it isn't working correctly that to be "steered" incorrectly.

I've owned vehicles with GPS since 2002. 6 or 7 of them in fact. I have never seen this happen. It did it most of the way home, until it finally locked up.
