Slightly unusual one, but took the Vantage out for a run today and, for the first time in several years, used the built in Nav instead of Google maps via CarPlay.

It struggled initially to locate me (car had been driven for about an hour at that point) and then subsequently proceeded to suffer from very variable accuracy, often putting me several metres either side of the roads I was driving, in some cases thinking I was in different nearby roads (and making odd routing suggestions as a result).

Was out in the countryside so no tall buildings but sometimes hills/valleys so I did wonder if it might have been struggling to lock on to a sufficient number of satellites.

Has anyone encountered similar before and, if so, did it reoccur/prove to be easily fixable?

ETA: thread title seems to have got messed up. AMi III.

Thanks guys, appreciate the responses.

I’ll run a few tests comparing with iPhone/Google maps, but great to have a couple of things to start looking at.
