My sat nav told me yesterday to turn left onto "Stuttgarter Strasse". You might not think that is weird.... except I was in Cardiff city centre... will show this to my dealer next time and see if it makes them laugh.

Maybe your nav is programmed for theoretical British street names based on Germany winning WW2?  :whistle:

Yep I agree had a little off road issue on the way home but both the pro nav gps and iPhone gps showed the same coordinates so it's not a gps issue.  However the map showed me crossing a field for 10 secs before jumping back on track.  All very strange and random

That is strange - the data mapping of position to the map isnt something that should go wrong like that.

I've seen it where the road has been moved (and the map doesnt know it) and I'm off road, but never where what you describe happens.

Which firmware verson of the NavPro do you have? This sort of bug sounds more system level that anything else to me...

Don't think they (i.e. my ancestors) would have liked Wales much... too much rain :whistle: :evil:

Funnily enough my Nav was giving me duff information the other day when I was on the way to the football.
It was as if the road had been moved slightly so my Nav kept trying to reroute me back onto the road I was actually on.
I've never seen it do anything like that. Maybe something wrong with the satellites above  :rolleyes:

The only time I've previously had an issue was it froze on the first day I got it when I was driving from England to Scotland.

Optimus, think I might still have the Nov 2014 release for the Nav pro (which I am still running), if it's of any use ?

I'll have a look on the PC for it today.

So dealer visit went very well, I supplied various photo's of the nav off course to help identify the problem.  However even after the new shark fin was fitted the tech called to say he was still not happy with the nav tracking although the signal from the aerial was good   :sad: So I have the car back for testing tomorrow but if the issue still exists then it will require a whole new pro nav unit including the ssd as the gps module is built into it.  Fairly easy unit in and out and done under warranty.

Process of elimination should mean your system will now work when you have a brand new unit. Makes sense that the gps module could be buggered so hopefully a good result when it's eventually replaced.

Morning,

Totally failure same issue :angry:  However I managed to stop this time when off course and cold reboot the unit.  When it came back on my location was perfect although I hadn't moved !  The rest of my journey was spot on when normally it goes off course again on the final few miles.  Has to be the gps  module in the unit now nothing left.  Back on the phone to the dealer :sad:
