Did the Dambusters have GPS Sat Nav?

My tin top has one of those fancy Sat Nav systems with real-time traffic information.
Occasionally it flashes up "urgent" warning information and the nice Sat Nav lady announces the problem. Usually its something like
"Danger, Stranded Vehicle in Lane 2" or "Caution, lane closed ahead". Sometimes its something really important like "Danger,
oncoming vehicle". Its very useful.
However, today I got the strangest message. So strange that I had to pull over a take a picture.

Seriously? An "Air Raid"! You couldn't make this stuff up!
I think that real-time information might actually be 70 years out of date unless so one in Grantham can prove otherwise.
I just ignored the message and continued bombing down the M1.

If you were bombing down the M1, then it was warning you of yourself...

That could be the reason. I was in a German car.

It was closer to midday.
6:17 would have been apt given the anniversary.
