There is if I recall one option for the gps I believe which may help determining if you are getting a valid output from the gps rather than it being a fault with the navigation itself .

Worth a try and may narrow things down

Thank you for this help, but this has just boggled my mind even more.

In the service menu it says everything is fine. On the MY BMW app it’s showing the correct location, yet my navigation shows me sleeping with the fishes… it has alternated the position once since it bugged. Could it be a software glitch instead of GPS fault? And is updating the map enough to fix it. In regards to what I assume are satellites, it connects from 4-7. Never more, never less.

Doesn’t look right to me. There are not 255 gps satellites, something like 35 or so ( not sure of exact number but certianly not 255)

You also only show 2d fix which suggests only minimum number seen, you really need a 3d fix for decent accuracy.

Is the car parked between tall builds that could obscure satellites?
Do you see different info when in a more open space?

Hmm that is quite strange as I just noticed that I have the same situation.
Getting the 2D fix and my location is off. It does change as I move, but not correctly.

Could it be something with their software stopping working for some reason?

hi, do you still have this issue? i have the exact same case as you. GPS not accurate, satellites showing 255 and 2D Fix.

Nope.
I’m going to a BMW expert in a week or so. I’m hoping it will get resolved then. I’ll write back here, when I know what exactly to do.

Issue is now gone for me. I took it to BMW earlier today and they did a firmware update. I had a NBTEvo_L previously and now it's NBTEvo_Y. Hope this helps your case.
