So, this has happened maybe 5-6 times since I got the truck in September.
Little no-GPS symbol on the map, left side. Goes away after turning the truck off & letting it shut down.

Do the v2.0-2.2 upgrades improve GPS reception? Not sure what's causing it & it's intermittent.

 

I've gotten this twice now. Turned the truck off, let it sit for a bit, then when I turned it back on, everything was good.

Also been driving "off road" a couple of times, got a "Navigation Fault" error message once, and was unable to connect my phone via bluetooth once.

I'm on the fence whether I try V2.2 update or take to dealer.

Edit: I'm on V1.1 right now.

 

I had similar problems with my sync 3 v1.0 or v1.1 and Samsung Galaxy s5. The nav stop working.
I went to dealer few times (v1.0 to v1.1 update) and the only remedy is pair the phone after the nav had boot.
No problem since but i am waiting for v2.0 for android auto.

 

What would having a phone paired have to do with receiving the GPS signal?
Not doubting, genuine curiosity.

 

Hey everyone!

The No GPS symbol indicates that insufficient GPS-satellite signals are available for accurate map positioning. This icon may display under normal operation in an area with poor GPS access, such as parking garages or other covered areas. If this icon is displayed continuously, and you're not in a poor GPS-access area, this likely means an issue has occurred.

I know this seems like an odd question, but has anyone gotten new tires recently?

Ford dealer told that my phone was interfering with the nav of sync3.

 

No new tires and the symbol stayed the entire route of my 40 mile commute to work. Same route I take multiple days per week. 99% of the time it works fine. 2 days it didn't.

 

With the Sync 3 why does Bluetooth disconnect so often?

 

Same, stock truck with just over 6k miles.
no-GPS on my normal 20 miles commute, intermittent.
