    E60 Business Nav

    Hi all, have business nav in my E60 (2008) and have 2016 maps (dvd).

    The system seems to have alot of trouble with its location and most of the time it tracks off the road or on different roads to the one I'm actually on.

    Is it just a rubbish system or does it sound like somethings up with it?

    Cheers!

    Happens around where I live all the time, it shows that I'm on a totally differwnt road, say approaching a roundabout, instead of tracking where I'm going, it'll track a different exit and continue for a minute or two and then get confused and show I'm driving through houses or through a field.

    I was on the M1 on the way back from the airport and it had no idea where I was...photo attached (I think)

    Then I'd say it's a fault with the system. It should be perfect in those locations. Is it still under warranty?

    Yes indeed, BMW warranty for another 14 months thankfully, already used that to get a new Timing Chain and turbo actuator fitted and various other bits

    Then I'd let them handle it. The system in my old e92 and e70 (which I assume is the same) was much better than you describe

    Thanks John, good to know that the system usually works well. Will be booking it in again, will update if they can (or cant!) sort it

    It's likely to be a GPS antenna problem. I had this problem with my retrofitted set up in the 630i. A new antenna resolved the issue.

    Hopefully it's something they can resolve, I swear this car has spent more time at the main dealer than on my driveway...not much of the original parts left.
