Is this the GPS or is this from your phone? Reason I ask is because when I first purchased my JLU I could bring up Waze or Apple Maps (didn't matter which one I used), it would show me in the correct location, with the correct directions, then as soon as I plugged it into the Jeep, Car Play would show me in Delaware(where the Jeep was originally purchased) and directions constantly correcting.

This went on for a while and then one day just corrected itself.

Did you ever get this resolved? I just noticed my GPS is off by about 120 miles. It is also off in the Off Road Pages app where it displays the coordinates.

I swung by the dealership yesterday to see if they could reset it. They pulled the fuse for about 20 minutes but that did not work. They told me to schedule an appointment. I've been experiencing a number of other intermittent issues with the guidelines randomly disappearing from the camera, radio muting and not able to get sound, and recently the screen went extremely dim for a day to where I could barely see anything even with it in my dark garage. I'm thinking my radio may need to be replaced as well.

The dealership told me over the phone to bring my Jeep in so they can order me a new radio system for the gps issue before my warranty is up, also I’m starting to have radio issues where all I get is static out of speakers no matter if it’s my iPhone connected or the xm radio..

Its the bezel around the radio,and few mouting screws, harder to neatly hook up and route the wiring. The xm subscription is a whole different ordeal lol

I am just now starting to have this issue which, naturally, occurs right after my bumper-to-bumper warranty expires. Is replacing the radio the only solution? Is it possible the GPS antenna might be bad or somehow got disconnected? I'm half-tempted to disassemble my soundbar just to make sure before I end up having to replace the damn radio.

The navigation apparently senses movement and turns correctly, it just can't establish my correct position and also shows an altitude of zero.
