I ran an update on the card out of the Tom-Tom Sat Nav yesterday.
I was out in the car later in the day and did not notice anything wrong.
I set out on a longer journey today and soon noticed that the Sat Nav position was about a couple of hundred yards out.
I tried stopping, turning off the Sat Nav, taking the card out then putting back in but still the same.
I have driven about 140 miles but the position is still wrong, I checked against another GPS and the Latitude is the same but there is about nine degrees difference between the two Longitude readings.
When I got to my destination I took the memory card inside and did an update again.
Tried it back in the car but still showing the wrong position.
Earlier the year I had a similar problem though it was showing several miles error. That time it sorted itself out after half an hour or so.
Anyone have any ideas?
