2015 8.4AN Navigation Crash and Re-Activate

[mikemartin88]

So after working fine for a little over a week, on my drive home yesterday (180 mile drive from my son's house), the navigation screen started blanking the map (some info was still there at the top and sides of the screen, but the map just disappeared), the nav would "lock up" (i.e. position and distance to next turn stopped updating), then a graphic of a globe with a message about the Navigation activating would come up.  After the screen with the globe went away, Navigation would come back up, but navigation to my destination wouldn't re-start, I would have to re-enter the destination and start the route again.  This happened around 5 times in the course of an hour, after which I just turned it off.  We stopped for gas, (during which I completely shut everything off).  When we set back out, everything worked fine again for the remaining hour and 15 minutes of the journey.
I'll definitely bring it to the dealership if this happens again, as we've only had it for a week, but was wondering if anyone has experienced similar weirdness with the navigation.  Interesting that every other feature I accessed (radio, SXM, media, climate, controls, etc.) worked fine during the time the Nav was freaking out.  I have Uconnect software version 15.17.5 installed.
I'll post updates whether it happens again or not.  Thanks for any info you can share.

Glad nobody here is having any issues.  Tons of other people reporting the same problem over on dodgedurango.net  Sounds like it's likely tied to the last firmware update, and is being worked...

I think we only have one other active Durango on here, and it's not a new one. 

I'd verify the wires are tight, battery connection and similar, but after that, if it happens again, dealership.  Problem is the dealership might say it's a Garmin problem and Garmin will say it's a Chrysler problem.

Rarely use the nav in ours, but works flawlessly each time I have.  I will be looking for a recall or a tsb though for it.
