Default Navigation map keeps rotating

Hi Guys,

I am having a slight issue with the Navigation System in the GS, while driving with the map up on the screen I sometimes notice the map "rotate" slightly (much like if you were to turn and the map would rotate), but the issue is that I am going straight when this happens. From what I have experienced this does not hinder any route guidance commands. Is this normal? It almost seems the car looses calibration or something and causes the map to rotate slightly.

If anyone can help me, or has had a similar experience, I would appreciate your help!

Thanks!

Click the arrow in the top left corner of the map. That changes the map from always north is straight up to a rotating the direction you're headed always being up.

I tried that, but this seems like the map has a calibration issue; it still does that even if I change the map orientation. Perhaps I should post a video up.

Have you ever fixed this issue? I have the same issue both on my '15 GX460 and '17 NX.

I read somewhere that we can re-calibrating the navigation by driving in circles...but I need to find the actual technique. Does anyone know how?

I'm not sure that I understand what the complaint really is.

As you move (in any direction) the map should move as well to adjust and reorient/reestablish itself in order to keep the NAV arrow centered where you are currently located and to rotate the map correctly based on if you are setup to always move upward on the map. If you prefer to have the arrow move in the direction (N,E,S,W) you're traveling, then the map will not rotate.

I prefer to have the arrow always moving upward on the map, which will rotate the map as I travel in different directions. If I need to see which direction I'm headed I just look at the top left compass indicator.

There are times that I [might] want to view the NAV map as if it were a paper map when traveling on a trip. I'll then move the NAV map out to at least '1 mile', if not a greater distance.

Mine does that as well. I have tried to calibrate it many times, with no success.

Unless I am totally misunderstanding something - it is supposed to do that...
