Default Navi is out of wack

Alright guys I'm probably posting this in the wrong place but whatever. So my navi has showed me in the wrong place, and I'm not talking about just 50ft off but it was showing me that I was about 20 miles away from where I was actually at. So I was wondering if you guys can show me how to get my navi recalibrate please. Thanks in advance

I believe there is a recalibrate button in the options menu.

some POI's have wrong addresses. I selected 1 poi and it took me to totally different place.
What version of Nav disc do you have?

Have you done any window tint installs recently? Metal in window tints interferes with satellite signal.

I am pretty sure you have very old version disc. you need to update your maps.
Or it could be operator error haha.
I am on vacation and i will make a video when i go back.

you can buy from dealership for $150.
Here is the version you need U38 GEN 5 13.1. you probably have 6.1 version

Yeah Jasonr is right, just get the U38 GEN 5 13.1 latest version as of 2014.

I just updated mine and it works. The "agree" button that you have to press everytime disappear and all the new roads or places that it did not find before can be found now.

Had the same problem with mine first thing is look at the top left hand corner and see if you see GPS displayed under compos. If you do then you know it has something to do with the head unit but if you don't then possible which was the case with mine the GPS cable was disconnected from behind the unit...how it happen you ask took my car in for service recall wire harness under dash board tech must have missed that wire reconnect worked just fine.

For that, you should get the "override" DVD one where you can use some features on the nav while driving.

So I went to the dealership and they fix it for me for FREE which is AWESOME!!! But they didn't install anything. All they did was going to menu and went to my setup then scrolled down to calibrate. Took only 1 min to fix. So I hope this helps anyone else that runs to this problems. Thanks for the help everyone
