The other half was driving while I was at home. She had set a destination and was driving in unfamiliar surrondings at night. She claims that she suddenly discovered that the navigation system had changed the destination and as a result she had to re-enter the original destination, turn around and retrace her steps.

We have had some other issues with MIB3, for example a several hour-long loss of functionality due to error with the SOS module, but that only happened once. I am left wondering if the problem with the navigation is real or imagined.

Since I wasn't in the car, I can't tell what actually happened. Has anyone experienced either a spontaneous change of destination, or observed some mistakes that one can make that would have this effect? For example, I am thinking that perhaps if you by mistake point somewhere on the map touch screen and don't pay attention, perhaps this could set a new destination.

Interesting!

Certainly touching the screen can prompt the satnav system to want to navigate to it. I have always cancelled it at that point, never let it ‘do its thing’, whatever that may be. Worthy of a test I reckon.

Also, in the uk there are several towns with the same name, each of which probably have the same road names - such as High Street, Whitchurch. Could it be that your other half selected the wrong town? I know I’ve done it in the past 🙄

Every morning on my way to school drop off mine tells me the best route to a town 150 miles away.

I think it’s got it in it’s head that it’s a regular journey i do and therefore its being helpful. It isn’t and it’s not.

You can delete or switch off the “learning” function. I think that’s what’s triggering mine, but it might be different for you.

I don’t really use the in built sat nav anyway, preferring car play so it’s not caused any issues for me.
