Sometimes my NAV is off track sometimes and auto corrects after traveling a few hundred feet. Is the a way to calibrate the NAV?

i believe that's due to new roads, the answer might be: get a newer version of your navi

I got a newer version disk. This is when it started on some routine routes I travel. Some of the addresses I had store needed to be're-entered' to work properly...so I thought maybe the NAV itself should be 'reset'. ?.

Once, after service at a BMW Center, the navigation was way off. I drove slowly in a circle in an open parking lot. That seemed to correct it.

Mine just started doing that for the first time 2 days ago. It did it yesterday also but corrected itself after i stopped at the supermarker and then started the car again. I was looking to see if anybody else ever had this problem.
