What should I do if my SYNC Navigation is unable to find a GPS signal?
If you see an "X," a crossed-out symbol, or a similar symbol over the GPS icon of the navigation system, you can use the troubleshooting tips found in this article.
Notas:
- The signal loss symbol may display in an area with poor GPS access, such as parking garages or other covered areas.
- If this icon is displaying continuously, you are not in a poor GPS access area, and the map is not showing the vehicle in an accurate location, this likely means an issue has occurred and troubleshooting is required.
Lost GPS Symbol Troubleshooting
