Check the GPS status. See how many (if any) sats you are tracking. If it's only 1 or 2 your PDOP will be sky high and more then likely the system won't accept the position. If you are tracking plenty of sats then it could be a problem with the VSS signal (nav won't update correctly if it's interupted).

It sounds like a bad GPS antenna. If it happens again, take it to the dealer. They should be able to find the problem fairly quickly.
