Has anyone found that when you put your "HOME" details into the satnav, that it doesnt quite correspond to the exact location as to where it shows your car position ....... my home appears approx 2cm away ?

Is that 2cms on your driveway or 2cms on the SatNav screen?  L319 D4 HSE

Mine is right slap bang on, if i park on the drive i am park on the house if you understand what i mean.  Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Yes occasionally i am right on top of my house and sometimes off to the side. I guess it also depends on the positioning of the satelites. 2006 RRS HSE, Chawton White, Alpaca with Cherry Wood Trim (Luxury Interior Pkg)

Anyone tried the 'I'm hungry' yet ?

Spent lunchtime playing around with satnav, didnt realise you could go into calibration ... thus enabling you to reposition " HOME " having checked that the calibration for the satnav positioning itself is/was spot on.

All is now well

You should re-calibrate your GPS - that should fix the problem.

Keep in mind, GPS is now working in precision mode, but there is some error for consumer reception - so results will vary.

not to make light of the fact that the GPS is off, but if you're using the GPS to go home then you should know where your own home is without having to rely on your GPS Food for thought

Biggles, I have tried the "Navigation, I'm hungry" and it shows you restaurants around. It's kinda cool unless you're on a road trip and the place you think you're going isn't there anymore  RRS S/C Special Edition, Vesuvius

I don't think mine is exactly positioned on my house but by the time I have reached within a few miles of home it doesn't really matter that much. L319 D4 HSE

I set my home position when we first got the car. Then after about two months, the home position changed by itself and moved our house into the middle of a field about 300yds away. Maybe the car is itching to do some off-roading
I simply changed this back my selecting a new position manually on the map, but I don't know why it changed in the first place. Matt

i still dont have a copy of my NaV cd...

the dealer lost it and is trying to get me 1 if not do 1 of you guys want to copy 1 for me?

would it work if you get 1 copied?

Technically I'm sure a copy would work, but legally of course is a different matter. It's not fair on Martin to be promoting illegal activity on one of his forums.

Added to which, given you're in Montreal the European discs wouldn't be much good for you. Not sure if the NA discs include Canada, but if the dealer has lost it, he is responsible for supplying you with another.

Your dealer should be able to get direct from the manufacturer without delay. ( or you and charge him for doing so ) see link to Navteq
