Urgent help with GPS please, unable to reset arrow

Hi gang

Special help for my friend whom has left his Range Rover Sport (same GPS system as 2005/2009 L322s) with me for a few days as he takes care of my own Rangie. I only have the Rangie for a few days hence the urge for your help to fix it.

The gps system acts funny and is completely lost.

I have tried to follow the owner’s manual how to reset it correctly (I did 5 times, even unplugged the battery for 10 min, etc.) but TILL, the pointer/arrow resets to the wrong direction (full East when it should be North West) right after the screen says the system has been reset successfully!

EDIT :

The location is correct, but the arrow goes full East and there is no vocal indication (road is hightlited though.

it simply says "please watch the map and indications will follow" BUT none do.


Anyone experience and corrected this?

THERE is a pic missing here where the arrow is Nothr West and I press "OK", then it goes to the next screen and the arrow is now back to full East Twisted Evil



EDIT

AS you may see, the arrow keeps on heading east while we cruise northbound.

Does it keep pointing east when you drive, I find mine can be a bit errant on its initial direction assesment until you start moving, it then sorts itself out when it sees whch way the car is heading. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

As above. After half a mile or so, it should get an accurate position/direction.

I know mine suffers from this issue occasionally. Just drive off and it sorts itself Thumbs Up

Its probably a faulty GPS Arial/Receiver they are prone to water damage. I have had a few need replacing in Jags mostly but a few RR. Easy job.

Its normally the Arial itself located on the Roof.....

But could also be the wiring to the arial/connection.

Thanks, will check the aerial and the wiring.

Anyone know if the roof lining needs to be take off completely to work on the wiring or simply popped-off on on side?


Also, the location is correct, but the arrow goes full East and there is no vocal indication (road is hightlited though.

it simply says "please watch the map and indications will follow" BUT none do.

not a problem to work on roof aerial with the lining in. just remove the clips for the dog guard and there is a plastic clamp a few inches into the roof from the rear in the centre.
