Anyone had satnav trouble last couple of days??
Got in my D4 yesterday and noticed home screen had the current position as belgium. Put the map on and it thought i was somewhere on the outskirts of Brussels . I checked the nav was set to GB and it was but said no GPS signal.
Today i had to find an address and used my D4 and it was still in belgium!! So i dug my phone out and went to google maps and that was same-No GPS signal
After about an hour the car nav sorted itself and the phone at around the same time. I know its been windy but surely not enough to blow satellites out of orbit

Belgium is the default location, you may need a new GPS antenna. Have a search on the forum for similar issues.012MY RRS 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography (Current)

but would he have also got no GPS on his phone maps/sat nav
sounds like a possible problem with the GPS signals, possibly caused by the bad weather interfering with the ground stations and reception. Not unheard of.
