Default NAV Problem

Before I take it to the Lexus dealer, I wanted to ask the Guru's here. It's not receiving the Satallite signals anymore from the GPS Icon on the screen. I haven't done anything to the car. No window tints, pulling of wiring etc. All of a sudden one day, it started to crap out. Now the current location is way off. I left the system on for over 15 mins to no avail. THANKS!!

Have you tried pulling the neg battery terminal for 2 or 3 mins?

Because it may allow the nav computer to reboot, and re-gain some settings it may have lost or forgotten. Same is true on automotive ECU's,many cars will run better if you reset the ECU. My Supra tt would gain almost 50 hp from it.
