GPS Location is offset

[Ash83]

Not sure if this was due to a software update or something happened recently but for a month or so now, I have been noticing that randomly my location is offset to the side in some areas.


Anyone experienced this? I have an appointment in 3 weeks.

Not normal. Assume you've tried a reboot? Could be a problem with the GPS hardware or GPS antenna. I've seen some reports with issues routing the GPS antenna cable causing GPS issues.

Mine does that sometimes depending on the road

Never happened to me in all the miles I've driven till just now for about 5 miles then it went back to correct on its own. My phone was getting 22-26 satellites in use so it's not like it was a dead spot for getting a GPS signal. So I'd say it's a software bug I'm on 2022.40.4.1

Got the car last week from the dealer and the replaced some part with a new updated version. issues seems to be fixed now (knock on wood)

If anyone interested here is the detail from the SC

I suspect the camera replacement wasn't needed, but possible. Others have reported that there is some GPS wiring near that camera that if too close causes problems. So either the cable was rerouted and/or the new camera is shielded better. Glad you have it fixed!

Was this resovled? I'm now getting the same issue. The GPS is way offset and even the direction is wrong. Happened recently and today is the second time.

I just got mine back from service for this issue. They said they replaced the GPS antenna and that it's resolved, but it's exactly the same. I need this started immediately after installing the update that enabled the cabin camera.

Friend with this problem some time ago. They ultimately replaced the cabin camera and he hasn't had problem in 6 months.

same, since I wrote this post 5 months ago when they replaced the camera, no GPS issues.

Getting this more often now. Still don't know whose problem it is.

It's your problem

For me, it happens when the car faces certain directions (e.g. Southwest or Northeast). This makes sense, since only in some directions is the cabin camera wiring *in between* the GPS antenna and satellite.

You should schedule service, perhaps point them at this and other threads on the matter that mention the cabin camera issue.
