I have had my 2004 SC430 for nine years. Today, for the first time, the voice info went crazy.
It told me I was 9/10ths from the location, then 8/10ths, then 7/10ths, then 6/10ths, then 5/10ths, then 4/10ths. Then, at 3/10ths from the location be began saying "destination ahead on the left" which it repeated twice more as I approached the location.
After I parked, returned to my car and set a location it performed normally.
Has anyone had this strange thing happen and/or does anyone know what may have caused it?

Maybe it got bored...

It hasn't happened to me yet but then again, I don't use NAV very much either.

Hi, Harold:
I liked your reply.
But more than the unit getting bored I think it suddenly didn't trust me anymore.
Anyway, it looks like I stumped the experts.
Out of 166 views since I posted my question two days ago, NOBODY had the answer.
In fact your post was the only reply I got.

The only response I can tell you which probably not going to apply to you is the road construction that may have confused the nav regarding its current location. Or maybe you need to calibrate your nav current location.
IDK, just guesses and thoughts.

I've never had that happen.

But, on a related note, I always love <sarcasm> when the NAV lady tells me *not* to turn - "In three quarters of a mile...continue on the current road."

The idea to calibrate was a good one except that the system returned to normal function after that odd event. As for road construction, there wasn't any and the route I was taking was one I had taken to that same location before, without that strange happening.
Only explanation is "gremlins."

I drove ip to MD yesterday and the Gen 4 nav on y '04 kept telling me the highway was on the wrong side. I probably need to calibrate it after the swap.
