Triangle warning, Does it mean the MINI is in "DAH" Mode?

Every now and then I get a triangle warning on the bottom of my info screen. I have a NAV system. The warning indicator will come on from time to time weather I actually am in the Nav Map screen or even have a destination loaded in the system.
However I have noticed that when the triangle is displayed AND I have a destination programmed, the estimated arrival time is way slow.
For example, in the picture below, the estimated arrival time is 9:54PM although the current time was only 5:57PM (All most 4 Hours) and the distance is only 133 miles. This means an average speed of less than 34MPH even though we were traveling on a Highway at 70+MPH. After a while the system would recalculate a more realistic ETA and the triangle would disappear.
Anyone have any ideas?

It's probably angry that you haven't cleaned that screen yet.

It indicates that your Bluetooth phone is in roaming mode

Thanks rkw.
Now if I can just figure out why the NAV gets stupid sometimes thinking that I only drive 33 mph on the Highway!
