Weird Traffic Notifications

Every morning when I pull out of my garage, I get the traffic alert seen in the attached picture. However, I have no idea what Phillip Lief Group is. Any idea what's going on?

it's the prediction stuff. Phillip Leif Group is in the navigation system as a name for wherever it thinks you're going.

You must travel to the same location most mornings. The car thinks that's where Phillip Lief Group is located.
I have the same issues whenever I am returning home....it thinks I am going to some nonexistent construction company. I think the database it's using for locations is woefully out of date.

ETA: I must type slow...there were no replies when I started typing.

Pooter is right, this the predicted destination, followed by the traffic delay (if any). You can change the name of it by going to the navigation app after you see this, then push the button that looks like a chart (in the lower left), which will pull up a list that says "current prediction" at the top. Tap that (it should be "Phillip Leif Group"), then tap the pencil icon to edit the name.

and the name or address always comes up twice like that which is odd.

I have the same issue. It’s weird and hard to recreate. Is there a way to just turn it off?

Turn off notifications of predictions (they'll still be available under your profile icon or in nav)
Navigation Settings > Notifications > Predicted Destination Alert

Or turn off nav predictions entirely at
Navigation Settings > User Data > Destination Suggestions

Turn of all the *entire vehicle's* predictive features (I think this is on a per-profile basis, but not sure) using:
(Car Icon) > General > Intelligent Suggestions

and the name or address always comes up twice like that which is odd.

I agree, that is odd.

@GoGoGadgetMachE has every possible answer to an MME question in a database which he has access to 24/7/365. One button press and its posted. He. Can’t. Be. Beat.

Michael, I just spent the past 6 hours writing letters to lawyers, dealing with recalcitrant board members, and an irate owner who wants to sue us cause his neighbor has roosters. On a ranch. Zoned Ag.

Real life? No thanks. I’ll pass, I’m on a diet.

Hey, wanna serve on our board? Right now it’s been taken over by a bunch of crooked lawyers (I know, I’m repeating myself ) and “investor” non-resident owners
