Navigation freaking out

So went to Vegas for Mfest this weekend, and on Saturday evening my nav decided to fail.

First it refused to accept that Las Vegas exists. I was driving on the 15 and 215, and according to the car I was cruising across the desert sand dunes.
Then on the drive home on Sunday, I hit the first major city in Arizona, and the screen tells me I'm now in Las Vegas. It's still stuck there, saying I'm on Las Vegas Blvd, even though my car's parked downstairs in my garage.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Already tried taking out and reinserting the Nav disc.

So apparently my nav system needs a new antenna.
Oh well, they're overnighting one so I'll take it in for that on Monday.

Where is the nav antenna located?
Mine was working fine untill yesterday. Now it shows me 30+ miles away in another town - go figure. I guess If I can't figure out how to reset it I'll have to take it back to the dealer too

Not sure where exactly it's mounted. If you're still under warranty, just have them order a new one. Seems like a simple fix.

I guess it's Ok - I tried it today and it was operating fine. I guess it just didn't lock in on enough GPS sats.
