Sat Nav Problem

[Spider Mike]

I'm having a problem with my Sat Nav. I re calibrate it, but as I drive off the cursor wanders off the road and is floating around in a field and never recovers. I have also noticed the 'GPS' symbol is missing from the top left of the screen.

Any ideas?

The GPS symbol missing indicates that the antenna is not locking on, or that the antenna connection is broken or disconnected.

The antenna sits behind the unit in the dash though, so before you start dismantling to check, read up on the correct way to do it....on here somewhere.

If it is the antenna (and they don't often go wrong) they are cheap (as long as you buy generic and NOT Lexus)

If it's not that then it will be some electronic malfunction within the unit which is going to be costly.
