Did you try taking out your SD navigation card and re-inserting it?

SSM 45917 - 2016-2017 Ford/Lincoln - SYNC 3 – Inaccurate Global Positioning System (GPS) Tracking Or GPS Vehicle Icon Spinning Or Spinning Compass - Engineering Investigating

Some 2016-2017 vehicles equipped with SYNC 3 may experience the following concerns; the GPS not tracking the vehicle position correctly, the vehicle location arrow icon spinning in circles on the navigation screen or a spinning compass on non-navigation vehicles. Perform the following procedure to resolve. Enter Bezel Diagnostics per Work Shop Manual (WSM) Section 415-00. Select Testing Settings from the menu. Scroll down and press Clear DR calib. Perform a drive test for approximately 10 minutes, include at least four right turns and four left turns with a vehicle speed of at least 25 MPH. Confirm that GPS position for Navigation or the Compass for non-navigation vehicles is functioning properly. Engineering is aware of this concern. The SYNC version can be confirmed via OASIS. Monitor OASIS for future updates.

SSM 45918 - 2016-2017 Ford/Lincoln - SYNC 3 - Navigation Fault Message Or System Lock Up

Some 2016-2017 Ford/Lincoln vehicles with SYNC 3 may see a Navigation Fault message appear on the map on the home screen or a system lock up when the phone is connected. Applink maybe inoperative, or the system may perform random reboots during an ignition cycle with the phone connected. Determine if the customer has an Android phone with the baseball application MLB.com At Bat installed. If the customer does not have this application loaded then proceed to the WSM, Section 415-00 for normal diagnosis. If the customer does have this application loaded verify if the version is 5.1.3 or lower on the Android phone. If the Android phone with MLB.com At Bat has version 5.1.3 or lower please recommend that they update their app to version 5.2 or higher and retest for the customer symptom. The SYNC version can be confirmed via OASIS.

The MLB was what they first blamed it on but mine was the latest version so they dismissed that theory.... and are going with the first... over 7 months then all of sudden driving down a road that the truck has been down at least hundreds of times and it decides to wacko....

Happened to me a couple times. Didn't freeze up, but according it, where I was driving "we didn't need roads".

Master Reset fixed it. Hope they figure that out...kinda annoying.
