Having problem with Navi and XM

I turned on Xm yesturday, and noticed that it was really slow. Whenever I would go to another station that wasnt on my pre-sets, it would take a long time to load up. At first, I just thought it was a temperary thing but it happened all day yesturday and it continued today. And my navi seems like it is more off than it was when I got it. As I was driving to work, I decided to set the navigation to see if there was any faster way to work. So, as I pulled in to my work, the navigation said that my work was still a couple more blocks ahead. Another instance that I noticed my navigation being off was this morning. I set the navigation to go to school and followed the direction. As I went on my normal rout and disregarded the navigation, I noticed that the street I was on was alot more rounded on the navigation screen. As I continued, the navigation screen began to display that I was not on a digitized road even though I was on the same street and didnt make any turns. I became worried that there might be something wrong with my navigation and my XM. I was wondering if you guys were experiencing any of these problems and if there is any way I could fix it

Thanks guys

Did you tint your car recently? If so, it could affect your navi reception.

Also, I have read that it could take as long as 12 minutes for the navigation to resynch itself with satellites. Try leaving the car on with all the windows down in an open lot for a while. I've heard some people have had success with it.

There are few threads on similar problems. You might want to try a search for additional help. I'll let you know if I come up on anything.
