Position inaccuracies in navigation system
E38, E39, E46 with navigation system option 606/609
Complaint:
Fault pattern 1:
Incorrect distances are occasionally indicated at crossroads or motorway exits (e.g. 50 or
more metres when the vehicle is already at the crossroads or motorway exit).
Fault pattern 2:
Vehicles with navigation system (option 609)
The position cursor in the map drifts away from the road and traces alongside it. In extreme
cases, the position cursor may even stray at an obtuse angle away from the road, not
corresponding to the route driven.
This causes incorrect navigation instructions, for example "Please turn around", "Turn
left/right at the next crossroads", "You are now leaving the recorded road network" etc. to
be given.
The following faults may also occur in conjunction with these complaints:
-
implausible guidance instructions,
-
longer reaction times for the navigation system,
-
delayed buildup of map image or
-
delayed instruction to turn
Vehicles with radio navigation system (option 606)
As there is no map display, it is primarily the faults
-
implausible guidance instructions,
-
longer reaction times for the navigation system
which occur. Moreover, the road direction arrow frequently disappears.
In its place, the target direction arrow appears with disproportionate frequency.
The following complaint must not be mistaken for the above fault patterns:
The route intermittently runs in a loop. This can cause the route guidance to run in an
implausible direction. This effect is however limited locally and does not occur over a
lengthy period.
Please refer to Service Information bulletin "Software errors in navigation system"
SI 65 14 99 (513)
Cause:
Concerning fault pattern 1:
This fault pattern is an intermittent calibration error in the calculation of the journey
distance. This takes effect in the form of a distance offset only after driving a long straight
section.
In general, if appropriate complaints are received, it should be noted that the distances
given usually refer
•
to the centre of the crossroads
•
to the point where the junction begins.
A turning lane is not considered a junction.
