A fix maybe - instead of it just sitting with zero satellites and approximating the position, why can't it switch to 'search the sky' mode when it has been without satellite contact for a set period of time. Or maybe this is the problem, it's approximation software is so poor that it thinks it's in a completely different area so is confusing itself when it's looking for a satellite?

I can send you pictures of my system when it is lost if you think it will help but I can't see how it will, the nav system doesn't have the ability to display horizontal errors or figures of merit which is the information the engineer probably needs.
Now that I'm paying a lot more attention to the map even if I'm not actively navigating, I'm noticing that the issue happens quite frequently, however, it does a decent job at tracking the car's position using the ECU signals, but in the following picture it's apparent that it lost track of the satellites from the completely wrong altitude. I'm at sea level here. I sent the pics to my SA, so I see if this is sufficient for the engineer to come out and fix my car.

RTFM . Simultaneously, press down on menu, center dial and upper right control button. It's the MMI's Ctrl-Alt-Del.
