My nuvi 465t has locked up twice. It was several days apart and both times
in Fargo, ND on I-94 right next to the interchange with I-29. Wonder if
there is anything specific about that location that locks up my nuvi.

Navteq probably can't handle that.

I guess that is as good of an explanation as any. The interesting
thing is that I have had the GPS in several states from Texas to
Manitoba and it hasn't locked up yet except for 3 times now right
within a half mile of that exact location. It probably does have
something to do with the way the map images are stored.

You could always fold the map in a different place :-)
Getting serious for a moment: there have been similar questions raised
in GPS newsgroups before, and in some cases, it seemed pretty well
established that there were known powerful RF transmissions in the
problem area, like radar or such, causing interference with the
receiver in the GPS device...
It's been a while, so I don't remember any details or links, sorry.

I did a few google searches and I cannot find where anyone else has reported
a problem in the same area. Oh well, The next time I get around Fargo, then
I will be aware that my GPS is gonna freeze up. Right now everything is
freezing up in Fargo anyway.
