The current location on the GPS in my BMW X5 is wrong. How do I reset the GPS to read the correct current loaction?

Answer 1

There is nothing to set. If the GPS receiver is actually indicating the wrong

location ... more than a couple hundred yards/meters from where it really is ...

then either the receiver or its installation is defective.

-- Find a place that has an open, unobstructed view of a large part of the sky,

without a lot of buildings surrounding it. Check the location as indicated by the

GPS in that place.

If it's wrong, then you have two major things to address:

1). The antenna system. The GPS antenna is somewhere on the outside of

the car, and connects to the receiver through a shielded 'coaxial' cable.

You have to inspect and verify that the antenna and cable are not damaged.

If you can confirm that the antenna, the cable connection to the antenna,

the cable itself, and the cable connection to the receiver, are all in good

condition, and the receiver indicates the wrong location, then you have

identified the problem:

2). The receiver is defective.

It's as simple as that. See the dealer for replacement. With a BMW, this should

not be a problem.
