Sat nav fault

Hi all
I have a 2007 RRS IT has 82000 miles on it so is not used everyday, my sat nav has frozen, everything else works fine. The problem is when the map comes up the positioning does not move, any suggestions please.

Regards
Mick

Does it start in the right place and not move? Or some other place?
Maybe the receiver antenna is dead, they are prone to water ingress

It's a 2007 RRS (L320) not L322. The disc drive / navigation module is under the passenger seat, not the NSR trim. and the antenna is beneath the high level brake light.
Personally, I'd try a battery disconnect / reconnect first (ideally put it on charge for a few hours inbetween) if it's not used everyday as cranking voltage 'dips' can cause all sorts of spurious events. Make sure you leave it with key out, doors closed but bonnet open for a good 20-30 mins before disconnecting the battery (you only need to disconnect one pole, ideally the negative), you can connect the charger to the still-connected pole and the battery post of the disconnected side at this point.
Edit: Nope, the GPS receiver is in the roof pod, however, if the GPS signal is lost, the map should still move as the steering angle & composite road speed signals are sent to the navigation module.

Thank you, you could be right with voltage dip as I have driven it for 2 hours yesterday and today it is working ok

Check the battery voltage after it has stood overnight. May need to put it on charge.
