Go to setup...vehicle settings, and recalibrate the gps to your current position.

If that adjustment does not work for OP, then something else is wrong-- maybe check for metallic window tint on the car, as the tint supposedly blocks the GPS signals.

Here is what I have going on. The GPS takes minutes to obtain a good signal (GPS text turns white to green), is this normal? So while it doesn't have a signal my location is totally crazy off plus the North-pointing is wrong too. I don't have metallic tint either. I have normal black tint and I don't think it's made of metal!

My Nav automatically locates the car within a few seconds of pressing "OK" on the warning screen, except where I am beneath more than 2 levels of garage/other cars or in a tunnel where the GPS signals cannot penetrate. Once the car is outdoors, it is located in seconds.
Also, if you touch the arrow within the circle showing your location on the screen, it will switch the orientation of the map, between "North on top" and your car's forward direction on top.
If the manual and this post don't help, drop by the dealership and have it either calibrate or fix whatever is wrong. G/L!

I have the same problem in mine, but it only happens sporadically, it will show me driving on an expressway when I have clearly exited or it will show me in the gray zone and not on a street but moving parallel to the street that i'm really on.
It usually fixes itself after I look away and just start cussing for 5 mts. and then I look back at the screen and its back on track.
