I noticed when I first got my car that when displaying the car's current position East and West are inverted. The map display will show I'm headed East (which is correct) but the current position display shows I'm headed West.

North and South are accurate on both displays.

I figured it was a software glitch on the Euro NAV DVD, but the problem still exists in the U.S. version as well.

Anybody else notice this or get this fixed?

At first I was reading (before a Tasse Kaffee) and thinking ,,compass``.

But now, if I am to understand this correctly, you mean the small ,,where I am`` indicator with the arrow.

I have not run across this - AFAIK mine always points correctly but I will check it when I am in the car later.

Right - set the assistance window to "current position" and see if it points east or west when the car is moving in these directions. On my display, the pointer shows opposite.

Are you referring to your nav or some other type of personal experience

I will try that / I thought you meant the little pointer on the map actually.
