I'm hoping someone comes up with an answer.
The cursor on mine started going the opposite direction to my car, me driving North on road, cursor going South to middle of field. Removing/reinserting disc no good. Battery reset, no good. Sat/Nav unit disconnected for week hoping for a memory drain, no good. And just in case anyone asks, unit and wheel well are both bone dry. |

Yes, I was headed east but the cursor and map had me going west until, apparently, I ran out of land and went for a swim ! I do hope someone can help us. It appears it was using the gyro for direction and not connecting with any satellites. What is it that has gone wrong ?

If your not picking up any satellites then maybe it could be the gps antennae/cable?

This will almost certainly be due to a failed GPS Shark's Fin antenna mounted on the roof of yours and Alanjay's tourers. It's becoming a very common fault as our cars get older. Look at the globe symbol in the top right corner of your sat nav map screen, if there are no stars or picture of a satellite, but just a globe, you've lost satellite reception.
Have a look at this thread on the subject for more (especially posts 10 and 14) Hi-Line shows "Vehicle position outside map limits" message You'll probably need to replace the roof mounted shark's fin antenna and that should cure the problem. For info on removing the antenna look here |

Many thanks. So I have the symptoms of not satellite signal so it looks like I need a new aerial . I go the page at Rimmer
http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001659 And it says for "black and white navigation system". Mine is a colour display, what is this black and white system or have I got the wrong aerial part number ? |

Bought a new aerial and fitted it !
Bought a new aerial and fitted it and had no change whatsoever.
Somewhat disappointed there. What is next ? Messed about for 20 minutes disconnecting and reconnecting and then hey presto - satellites picked up and then position corrected ! Yippee dodarr But in the mean time I could not get it to go into service mode. Set and then hold down menu for 8 seconds - nothing happens. What am I doing wrong ?

Sometimes, it can take that long for it to get its current position after being out of touch for a while. The GPS system needs to acquire a new table of satellite positions, from which it can then calculate your actual location. Acquisition time can be made worse by poor reception conditions and poor satellite locations in the sky.
