Sat Nav not working properly!

The sat nav has stopped working properly 🙁
It was working fine, then all of a sudden just went completely off route ( we were on an ecisting motorway at the time and the sat nav showed us elsewhere)

I managed to reposition the car to its present location, it worked ok for a short while, then went off route again.

Can anyone shed any light on this please as it's a pain in the rear?

Also can anyone recommend a source for a new sat nav disk as I’m looking at updating it?

Thanks

Highly likely to be a faulty GPS antenna in the roof mounted sharks fin. Very common fault

Check out this thread for an easy fix, just done mine which had exactly the same problem. Now all fixed for less than a tenner.

Be sure to apply a liberal amount of silicone between the shark fin and body of the car. I didn't and the rear pillars got wet. inside. Otherwise it's a very simple job. 2019 RRS P400e Autobiography

I didn't apply any silicon and have had no leaks. All I did was give the seal on the sharks fin a really good clean and then cleaned & polished the roof where it mounts. Torqued the two nuts up nice and tight and it's been ok.

Hmm. I tightened the bolts up pretty tight. Maybe not enough? 2019 RRS P400e Autobiography
