Sensus sat nav issue

Peter piper · Jun 26th, 2021, 08:08

If I put a destination into my V40 sat nav 2 miles away it takes me on an 80 or so mile journey (I obviously ignore the sat nav

). I previously had a V60 and don't recall having this issue with the sat nav, and despite having gone through all the sat nav options I can't resolve it, so any help appreciated?

I don't know if I'm losing the plot but the location of the sat nav is about 80 miles away from where I am. The car has been sitting at a dealers for a couple or so months so whether that's had anything to do with it playing up.

I'm not sure if a sat nav update with solve the issue or its a pointless exercise?

Is there any similarity between the name of the place you want to go to and where it is telling you to go (or if you’re using postcode, are the postcodes similar?)

No, it's of no relevance and I've cleared all journeys from the sat nav and started afresh to no avail. For some reason the sat nav thinks my car is in Kenilworth when I'm in West London

I'm guessing that the GPS receiver is faulty then

The sat nav aerials can fail - some people seem to have had several.
