I have a 2016 Platinum with Nav. Last Saturday I was driving to my kids soccer game and the Nav system crapped out while driving. All I could see was the arrow which depicts my car, but no streets/ highways etc. pulled over and wound up using my phone to find the field. After the game, I set the Nav to take me home and it worked fine but I noticed on the left side of the screen, it said GPS but with a red ghostbusters sign over it, as if to say no GPS. "Sorry about the ghostbusters reference but I can't think of the name of the red thing." It worked fine. Today I used it again and same thing, Nav worked fine but I still have the GPS with the ghostbusters sign over it. Any idea what that is? Thanks in advance

 

BTW, its a 2016 Platinum with Sync 3

The "Ghostbusters" sign is the international symbol (International Organization for Standardization or ISO) for NO. As with many early MyFord Touch issues, you can look in the owners manual, find the fuse location in the fuse panel under the glovebox, pull that fuse for a minute or so, reinsert the fuse and allow the system to reboot. There should be a red fuse puller attached to the inside top of the fuse panel under the hood, or lightly grab the fuse with a needle nose pliers. You will lose all your saved data, that may solve your problem. Another option is to take your car to the dealership and have the system checked under warranty.

I've had this happen a number of times in MyLincoln Touch. In my 2013 MKX, my system started acting up like you said before it completely failed in the middle of a long road trip. The system had to be rebooted at the dealership to fix it, but it wasn't a hardware fault. I've had this happen to me in my 2016 MKX with MLT but it was brief.
