RNS510 a mile out!
Mako V12V:
Thanks for the replies. Here's an update.
I drove home from works yesterday (Leyland to Blackburn - west to east) and my nav said I was travelling from Haslingden to Blackburn (east to west). So when i arrived home i left the nav on for 20 minutes - hey presto - 6/9 satellites and my exact location found. :happy2:
I then went to mates house after tea - 2 miles through Blackburn - spot on with everything. I drove home again 3 hours later - no probs. This morning i started the nav up and drove straight off on my way to work. The nav proceeded to go wrong again showing me driving across fields etc. I ended up quite near to work in Leyland but again about 1 mile away. :sad1:
I left my nav on again when i got to work and just checking now it has my correct position again.
Do other people drive straight off on start up or do you have to wait for the unit to "locate" you before moving off?
Or is it looking like there is a problem with the antennae?
JPC:
i had this for a while, and found my antenna wasn't ideally located. Now its just above my rear view mirror

Where exactly? Do you have a picture of this?

Did you ask the guys who fitted it where they put the GPS antenna? Sounds to me like either you have a faulty antenna (or RNS-510 :sad1:) or they have put the antenna in the dash behind the 510, which would probably surround it with enough metalwork to make the fixes erratic/unreliable.

Here's a pic. Someone else has installed their antenna vertically against the back of the vent duct. Mine (red outline) is on the vent arm bit. Both places should give you fantastic results in terms of gps position.
EDIT: Edited to add picture. God knows why it didn't come up the first time round!
