Your GPS antenna will have a fault. Either replace the rear antenna base unit, or fit a cheap ebay antenna under the dash somewhere.

Can i do reset antenna only and check. Why i got the position on my maxidot correct ?, Thanks 

You need a new GPS antenna, your sat nav doesn't know where it is. It's still telling the Maxidot where it thinks it is ("Offroad") but clearly you're not parked in the Alboran Sea.

Get a £5 Ebay job - 2 years in with mine, mounted above the Columbus, takes 10 mins. 

I followed the same advice but mounted the new antenna in the a pillar as it did not like it on top of the Columbus unit.
