Default Navigation issues

So I started to notice that my navigation has been acting up. Below is a picture. I was driving on I-10 and it was showing that I was a few hundred feet on the left. Any idea why this can happen and how to fix it? I still have the A4 nav card (looking to get the A7)

Thanks,

Disconnecting the battery for an extended period of time has, for the time being at least, resolved my problem with this.

So you also have gotten this issue? I wonder why? I mean I know that by resetting everyone should work, but that is only a temporary solution..

Many here, myself included, have had this experience with the Nav system.

Is it a new part or moved (lanes) part of I10? In Houston I see this also sometimes on I10where its been widened, Fords nav updates are slow in coming, costly, minimal and way behind! Sometimes wrong too!

It is pretty much all over the place Really annoying if you ask me. I need to change my truck battery (stuff is expensive) so hopefully by disconnecting it for a few minutes will clear it up. I really do want to buy the A7 navi card but dang $75 is expensive...

Let me check, I may have a 5 that I will give you. Let me look for it. If the road is not new, then its not the maps, have you done a master reset on the radio?

Awesome! Thanks man!!! Yes, I have done the master reset. I have come through new roads and when going through them, the navi gets all crazy! Probably thinks that I am flying or something.

Keep in mind, that a 5 is not going to be real current either.

I just bought an A7 card. If you can wait until I get the A7, next week, I will send you my A5 for postage only.


Let me know.
