My Ride: 2005 530i jet black, NAV, premium, automatic, xenon

In the past week, my NAV system frequently (more than 50% of the time) shows my location several miles off from my actual location. It will also display that I am traveling north when I am traveling west, etc. I am taking it in this week, but has anyone had this and how can it be fixed?

I had it happen on an E53. Not the same system but in that case I fixed it by doing a calibration. Drive around the block... four right hand turns. Not sure if the E60's setup in the same way to recalibrate.

I had the same thing when I first collected mine - usually caused by being moved under cover without the wheels moving (low loader etc.)

Mine just needed to be driven for about an hour on a fairly uniform road - it then rechecked it's position with the satellites and it was all back to normal. No problems and 12,000 miles since.

Welcome to the club. Mine still hasn't been fixed after several attempts by two different dealers. It's still in the shop and I hope they get it right this time.

when I test drove e60 it had nav system, and get stucked and frozen, luckily had my mitac with me, so I skipped that when we ordered (retrofit is 3000?) but I am happier with TomTom 700Go.

on the other hand maybe a sw update will help.
