Navigation not working!!
I was driving to LA, and all of a sudden never ehappened before the Navi, goes screwy saying off road new route ect..and then keeps giving me wrong prompts like make a u-turn on the freway 
and turn right at so and so st when I was still on the freway..So I pull off the frwy re program my address and same thing!! Nav just went retarded on me...So I get home and try it again same thing but now it still thinks I'm on the 405 in LA???and if I ask it to tell me my current location it shows me in the middle of the pacific ocean???Anyway I know I'll probably have to take it to the dealer but am hoping someone out there might have a fix??
And yes I've allready tried popping out the nav cd an cleaning it, made no difference
thanks in advance..

I'm gonna put my money that it just got it's coordinates messed up or something.
I've had that issue a few times in my dads car (Mercedes) and I've had it happen once in my car (BMW).
No, I can't take a U-Turn on the freeway.... :x

Could be the recent spate sunspot activity causing this. Unless the dealer sees this problem themselves, they will probably just say that is the cause. I had problems with the NAV in LA today....

Well I hope your right because I hate my local dealer....The last time I went in for an oil change, I found out later when I got the oil changed at an independant place, they said "Hey when's the last time you changed your oil?" I'm like at my dealership 3500 miles ago they replied NO WAY this hasn't been changed in a long time!!!!!! 
****ers at the dealership are liars and thiefs!!!!They showed it to me.... it was pitifu!!!!l This means they didn't change it for at least the last 2-3 times I went in for service......
