Exclamation How to calibrate navigation?

Hi!
I finally installed nav on my 06 MB ML350 W164 (MCS II) but it shows absolutely different GPS location (I live in PA - it shows CA). How can I calibrate it to make it work right?

I would contact the maker of the Nav unit. I have owned three different units (2 Garmin and 1 MB); and they have never done that to me.

There is no callibration. Couple of things that could cause it are a bad dvd, bad nav unit, bad antenna, not receiving sats. I assume you install it yourself so go back and check your installation. If you bought the nav unit from E Bay or similar my assumption would be that you were taken and the unit is bad. If all checks out go to the dealer and have him have a look. (by the time you get his charges you would have been better off if you bought from him and had him install).

Suzuki dealership installed this nav for me as they sold me mb with nav but it didn't have one. So I made them to put one in. And this nav shows my location and reacting on the vehicle movements but it shows like I drive in CA. Do you think it is a bad disk? My mb was pre-wired so dealer has to put only DVD drive and software (like it says in the receipt). I think it has to be calibration like all other nav have.

As I said before and will say again, there is no callibration on this unit. Take it back to them and have them fix it if they can.
