jonny_5 is on a distinguished road
ive went to the airport and back 90 mile round trip at 70 mph all the way there and still its the same

ok just went for a drive and done 6 right turns in a row about a mile of driving, i tried to use the sat nav for directions it then froz after i put in the address in and pushed instructions and the screen went blank, then came back with a light blue screen and no nav option in the menu,
i then parked her up for five minutes and return and every thing went back to normall except that some streets still are 10 yards late and some are not is my firmware possibly currupt?

Never did but based on this boards responses it's working as designed.

If I set the display at 400ft it's noticeable but at 800ft and further it's fine. I just live with it!

That's the trouble with being a "Type A" personality. :eek:

You've done all checks and all report as OK, so everything on the car is fine

That leaves only the internal clock on the Mk3 - if the clock is out slightly, the position will be off I believe.
Needs a factory calibration - if at all possible, or just change the nav for another one.

If you consider changing, then fit a Mk4 and enjoy the extra features :-)

I'm already on the MKIV. As it is only slightly off, I can live with it. Thanks for you help and suggestions.
