But i get this power blip - perhaps its due to a going battery or something with the ALT - maybe someone here can provide insight... but the nav screen and radio cut out (off) then come back on about 1-2 sec later.

This ^^^ would make me double check the battery cables to make sure they are tight...and also check the battery hold down clamp to make sure that it is clamped over the foot of the battery and screwed down tightly in one of the threaded holes in the battery compartment.
You never know...you may have missed the threaded hole for the battery hold down clamp...thus when you drive over tracks...it moves the battery enough to disturb one or both of the battery cables...causing a brief break in power.
(for those that have yet to see their battery compartment...you can see the 3 threaded holes (to accommodate multiple battery lengths) used to secure the battery hold down clamp along the bottom & right side of the battery compartment) images courtesy of:

(you can see the long bolt for the battery hold down clamp to the right of the battery in pic below)
