Satnav Problem

Post by Adam90 »

My satnav has decided to place its GPS into a random location about 50 miles away. I’ve tried to reset it via the settings but it’s still well out of place. Any ideas/help?

Is it just frozen in one place?
If it is there in an icon on the right hand side of the display, second one down from the top. Press that and it should go back to normal.

It’s in different places, currently just out of Munich!

Can’t see any buttons in the top right corner. I’m using rns 510 (60 plate).

Mine does that, it changed from 75yards to 250miles. Try turning the right nob to zoom in.

It's still out of sync at any range. I have tried a reboot, and set the nav for my home address and it's still somewhere near Munich! I guess a trip to the stealers may be in order.

Might help as the symptom seems to be similar
