my navi is behind
My navi is about 200-300 feet behind the actual spot where i'm at. Is this normal ? if not, is there any way to fix it ? I've calibrated my system with the new tires and everything.
Also, if anyone is kind enough to copy (not sure if this works) a 2005 or 2004 Navi #2 (colorado) CD for me, I'd really appreciate. I'll pay of course.
Thanks !!

I doubt that it is ever dead on the money, but it is not far off at all. Mine shows a little off at times, but not enough to worry about.

Satellite navigation is supposed to be off a little, so it can't be retrofitted for weapons targeting by hostile interests. Only military units are dead-accurate. This was true even before 9/11. I've used GPS systems with my laptop and this came from Garmin, I believe.

The GPS unit uses two methods, one is a GPS position signal that it acquired every 5 or so secs, the other method is dead reckoning. By knowing your last GPS location the direction you were heading, the speed you are going at and a gyroscope for angle it can keep the little icon moving between GPS signals. I found on mine it seemed to be off a little like yours, I would already have passed a road but on the GPS I was just getting to it. I went into the calibration screen and fudged my tire size from 225/45/17 to 225/51/17 and now its pretty accurate.

Hi guys, i know this thread is old but maybe someone still can tell me. I'm trying to calibrate my Nav and i'm puzzled as to what to do after i enter my tire size, there is no OK or Done button or anything.

press the right rotary button in for 2 secons and it should take you back to the main menu.
Also, here's a link to online Navi manual: http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ephdwebs...and_manual.htm
