Strange Blue bar while using NAV

[SnBGC]

Ok driving around more using nav: I can see when the blue bar pops up "on purpose" as it will stick when the main screen is showing some nav information (like get in the right two lanes).

When it isn't supposed to be up, however, is when it flashes occasionally.

Sounds like a glitch because mine doesn't flash at all and it's not random.
I wonder what happens if you turn off "Junction View"??

When that blue bar appears, look to your right on the big display. It means there is some information you need to see, like upcoming off ramp. If you click the X in the pop-up on the big display the blue bar will go away.

So that X is a toggle. Click to expand or click to reduce?
I keep mine expanded......maybe that is why I see the blue bar during those times?

If you see the blue bar just look at the center display and you will see additional info regarding your destination or upcoming directions. Once the directions are executed or you X out the bar disappears.

Okay cool. That answers my question. Yes, I always get that more detailed view in the main screen which I utilize. And it makes sense now that you say it because I always use NAV fully expanded. Sounds like if I didn't have it expanded then I wouldn't see that supplemental graphic.

I get thats what it probably should be going off for. But that's not the case, at least in my car.

Sitting in my garage, it still randomly flashes. I'm not passing any intersections, no info on the main screen to look over at. Just random. It doesn't happen as much sitting in one spot. It took a few minutes for it to happen but every few minutes, it does flash up for me. I just went out right now to take this pic.

And my car: that is the exact behavior I've been experiencing.

Hmm, maybe it's supposed to be a feature but it seems like it has a bug ?

May be the GPS position while in the Garage makes the CAR think it 'hops' around and thus the NAV is updating it's next steps

It does the same thing while driving around. Just more often.

That does not seem normal. Strange glitch in the software I suspect.

Is it normal for the car to think the speed limit in your garage is 65mph?

This is the first time I saw this. I was messing around with the GPS and tried the GPS demo mode. It took the route I had and made it look like I was driving it. Tried to see if that would make the blue bar appear for turns or anything and it didn't. But I think when it hit the highway that's when the speed limit sign showed up and didn't go away after I turned it off.
