Slightly right of center in the dash just under the windshield (see below). There are a couple of threads about nav having this issue, and there is a TSB for the nav to correct it which updates the nav firmware but not the maps. There is also a map update with updated firmware, but you'll have to pay for it.

Calibration should not be needed if your GPS is getting a lock. If it isn't, calibration will only be a temporary fix.
Look for the word "GPS" under the map scale indicator. If it doesn't appear within a few minutes of starting the car, then your nav is not getting a lock and is just using the steering angle and speed sensor to calculate position on the map.
