While riding the I-40 freeway past the military base on the way back to Barstow, my GPS mysteriously crashes

My GPS won't restart until I'm almost past the military base. What's this? The many passing big rigs create strong side winds that, mixed in with the headwind, threaten to pull me out into freeway traffic. Yikes, time for serious focus while riding here!
