My c3 sat nav lost my location on the way home today. It thinks I’m about 2 miles away.

When I plug my i phone in and try to use Google maps that also has the wrong location.

Any ideas?

@Laj: This may be a satellite issue in the country / location where you are located if it is affecting positioning on both separate devices. So rules out a problem with your vehicle's GPS.
@Stansfield: You may have a separate issue. Try the same with a mobile device with GPS. If that is working fine, then you may have an issue with the aerial on the vehicle (water ingress) that can be affecting the GPS signal.

Hi Juan the gps signal is very reliable in the uk . I am sure that my car loses gps position after a spell of heavey rain so you may be right in saying water ingress to the aerial . Dealer has been unable to fix but has taken photo of the screen when wrong . Citroen want me to use the spy log to capture the screen when faulty ?
Been going on for 6 months car know out of warranty .
Feed up Citroen owner.
