Santa Fe

  • 22,000 miles
We were on a an extended trip and had programmed the gps to take us to a remote point we had never been to before. Suddenly the gps screen went blank, except for the vehicle marker icon - this lasted for several minutes. It then flashed multiple directions for future turns (which were incorrect), it went blank again, and then reflashed other multiple directions for future terms. This happened several times. Ultimately, the gps said we had arrived at our destination, but we were at least 30 miles from one of the points along the way to where we were going. Had I not known generally where to go, I would have been lost in a remote area with little or no other people on the highway to help.
