Update:
Used the diagnostic menu and determined that:
- my GPS doesn’t know it’s Lat/Log (they’re blank)
- thinks it’s 5.11.01 with the wrong time (but the minutes past the hour are correct (and it’s not giving me GMT time)
- is not seeing any satellites (although one display thinks it’s seeing (or looking for) 8 - but has an S/N of 0 for all of them).

The last two times I drove my car, the initial location seemed right, but the displayed location moved in the wrong direction as I began driving, and got progressively further from the actual location.

I’m thinking either the GPS antenna (or the connection to it) has failed, or the GPS computer’s almanac got reset when my battery died (see earlier post), and it’s looking for the wrong satellites.

Can anyone confirm that the GPS antenna is behind the light panel above the rear-view mirror in a Coupe?
Anyone have suggestions for how to reset the GPS computer or almanac to help it know which satellites to look for?

Thanks in advance!
