Nope all pictures are taken while stationary at home.
 

Is the Long/Lat in P1 of the diags page correct?

P1 Shows his work address but at the time of taking the picture he was at home,it seems it wont budge from his work address

That didn't solve it been told they receive 6 satellites on green
Its shows red when 3 satellites or less
it shows yellow when 4-5 satellites

One of them put in there home address and it started taking them in the wrong direction

Sounds like the Gyro in the main unit has failed then

 

Do they realy have Gyro's in them ?

I beleive they use the SIRF chipset (phillips) - nothing goes wrong but if the signal is low they will give random readings

Looks to me like Poor gps signal!
Check AE connections - Also check the connections behind the drivers kick pannel, I'm fairly sure the antenna has a coupler there... or replace antenna with a new/known good'un

Yes, they do have gyros in them and they work in conjunction with the speed pulse of the car to know how far you are travelling in a given direction - this information is then interposed upon a map and the navigation can then operate fully - every 30 seconds or so it will then confirm its location by means of a GPS signal.

Operating this way makes them exceptionally more accurate than the handheld units that only know their location from a received GPS signal.

OK, check for a speed signal reaching the unit if the location doesn't change.

Also, try removing satnav disk, then removing ncdc for 3hrs, just to truely reset itself.

Cheers Dave, I love this site - I've learnt so much...

That would fall in line with the fault diag then - no speed signal ? - But then is s/o GPS that inaccurate ?, maybe with a poor sig as well, Umm.....

What was the cost of the unit new ? - guess I HAVE to buy a facelift now...
