Weird navigation problem


Recommended Posts

Noticed a strange map behavior this weekend. On my 09 mkx, I have three views that I can choose for the nap. One with "north up", one with "car up" and one that's "3D" (sort if).

 

Anyway, wife notice that we were driving on the wrong road, map was showing we were on the next road over from the actual road. For the heck of it, I switched from the "car up" view to the "north up" and ... bingo ... fixed! Switched back to "car up" and we were magically transported back to the other road. Weird.

 

Anyway, others have reported problems with the navigation display, if you are having this type of problem, try switching the view and see if it self-corrects.

I've also noticed that sometimes, my on screen position is "offset" by a few meters. On very rare occasion, it's even a few kilometers, like the GPS pinpointed a completely different position!

I'll try switching view next time this happen to see if it change something!

Ive noticed mine being off by a few meters at times while driving, always seems to self-correct. Assumed this occured when it switching satellites and was recalculating. By being off by several km would indicate it was only locked on to 2 or 3 satellites. Could always stop and get into the test mode and check to see what satellites the system was actually locking on to.
