Default Navigation Compass Malfunction

Lexus reliability is not going good here.
I was driving and suddenly notice the cursor on my navigation screen is in the wrong location on the map. In other words I'm not presented in the right location on the map. The I saw the compass pointing South when Im facing West. I have a feeling the compass malfunction or something went wrong. What a hassle it is to bring it into the dealers and I might as well tell them about the battery went out on me after having the car sat in my garage for 2 nights.

Anyone have a similar problem with the Compass And Navigation map issues? Is it a known problem?

I notice when I put the compass on in the driver information display that is in the instrument cluster and then compare it to the compass on the nav screen they rarely agree with each other. The compass on the IC drivers info display gets frozen on a direction and wont move.
