I have the same problem with the rotating arrow that is supposed to designate the car and the direction it's headed. The map redraws constantly since it's always confused about which way it's headed. I haven't had a chance to bring it in yet, and would like to know what you find out...

My GPS also seems to be off sometimes too - it tells me I arrived at my house about half a block away... :-( Other locations are similar.

Anyone else experiencing these nav problems?

1) Virtual car froze on tracking map...dealer thought it was bad sensors...turned out, after 3 visits, to be bad nav computer...dealer replaced computer and problem fixed
2) Destination arrow in top right of screen slowly, but continously, rotates (!), even while car is stopped...system gives what seems to be correct distance from destination, but no directions since it can't seem to figure out which way the car is pointing...maybe a gyro problem...this is a new, unfixed problem

I'm feeling pretty frustrated about this $2K option...Anyone else having similar probs?
