Interestingly strange. Usually with map updates, the car is supposed to self re-set after driving a bit. (That worked on my non-Nissan but is a feature I never use, thanks to smartphones) BTW, Los Angeles (the general area, where Nissan USA used to be located) is the default GPS go-to site.

Sorry, don't have a solid answer for you but I seem to recall there is usually one of 2 or 3 components that fail in GPS of that era.... vehicle speed sensors or GPS antenna... both hardware issues. Also, there is a way of manually resetting a car GPS system so it knows where you are. You might want to try looking up that procedure and the hardware troubleshooting procedures as well.
