Columbus now tells me I'm driving in Holland!!

Featured Replies

Hi folk

My Columbus now informs me that I am driving somewhere in Holland rather than the A37 in N Somerset! Any advice as to possible problem please. I think it might be something to do with my antenna as it occurred shortly after a Polish car wash! How can I check antenna is functioning OK.

TIA Jerry

There has been problems with water getting into the aerial giving symptoms like that.
 

On the nav screen touch "Current position and it'll tell yo how many satellites it's tracking and locked on to.

Is the nationality of the car wash operators relevent ? ... I doubt it!

Quote truckbus           “Is the nationality of the car wash operators relevant” ........only if the new location showing it was now in Poland...............................joking aside            had a similar problem on an NEW Octavia mk2 ,antenna replaced ,quite well documented on VAG forums.

Look on the bright side, you haven't had to pay for a ferry crossing.
