Sat Nav Problem

My 05 W220 S65 Sat Nav thinks it is 200 miles away from the cars location.

Problem occurred a couple of weeks ago, started sat nav on move , then reset it a couple of hundred miles into trip , the thing jumps back to the original local, and now it still moves about , but 200 miles roughly north of where the car is.

I have tried rebooting system by taking disc out and reset , using the services setting on command, but it is still broken.

Anybody had this problem ?

Any thoughts about a solution ?

Thanks

Will post on the W220 forum too

I had a problem similar to this on an ML and it turned out to be a bad connection with the antenna that receives GPS signals. With no signal, the nav system tries to fix where you are via internal sensors and it's not very accurate.

I think the my dealer replaced the antenna and cable. Not sure about the cable, however. It was covered under warrenty. After the fix, I had no more problems.
