so i put in an address and noticed that the NAV has reversed the direction.. Basically if I drive South it says/thinks I'm driving North.
Anyone ever seen this?

no no no... don't mean that! direction of travel is different. I mean if i am driving North the NAV unit thinks I'm actually going South so no matter what the direction of travel i'm always driving AWAY from where i am trying to go even if i'm driving towards where i am trying to go lol

Note in "map - direction of travel" or "perspective", the map may look upside down when traveling south.
Also a thought. Are you confused over the little arrow in the corner of the display? It does not point to north. Rather it points to your destination from your perspective. IE if a dest is south of you and you are driving south, the arrow points straight up. If you then need to make a left turn once you reach far enough south, the arrow points left.
