Sat Nav Has Gone Dotty !

Recommended Posts

Hi all

I've got a strange problem with the built-in sat nav on my T180. Over the last month or so it’s leaving small red dots on routes I’ve travelled. When I switch on I can see dots, on the screen, in my road, on the main road, etc. There are even dots in the carpark at work. It’s like it’s tracking where I’m going. Not the biggest problem. But it’s bugging me; it’s visually annoying. I’m assuming it’s a “feature” of the sat nav, but no idea how I’ve turned it on. Anyone else got this or know how to switch it off?

I had the same problem in my Honda Accord except the dots were blue.

It turned out to be route/off route locations.

It could be turned off by going into the menu settings and going to POI map icons (petrol stations, hospitals etc) and switching off route/off route locations parking.

I believe it is when the GPS Navi receives a handshake with the satellite to confirm its location.

Now this WAS on my Honda, so unless yours is an actual fault with the unit itself, it wouldn't hurt to look...............

Tried to find that option on my settings, but to no avail. Turned all POI off too, that didnt' fix it. Any more ideas anyone?
