Wrong map location on Nav

[rsell]

I have a "new to me" 2017 RX350 F Sport. Everything so far so good until the other day I started the car and as I began driving I noticed the map was showing me over on the coast, about 40+ miles away. I have tried setting the destination to home, marking my home as a reference point and anything else I could think of but it still wants to start me out in Melbourne, FL for some reason. I cannot figure out how to get it back to my current location. Is there a reset or something I am missing in the Nav or Set up screens. Thanks for any help and have a GREAT day.

Navigation System Reset:

1. • Confirm that your navigation system is rebooting when you turn on the ignition.
   • To perform a reset, follow these steps:
     1. Disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle’s 12-volt battery.
     2. Wait for about 30 seconds.
     3. Reconnect the negative terminal.
     4. Confirm if the multimedia system operates correctly after it reloads.

2. Map Updates:

   • Sometimes outdated maps can lead to incorrect positioning. Consider updating your navigation maps:
     • Map updates have become quite affordable. You can check for updates on the Lexus Navigation website.
     • While updating maps won’t instantly display new roads (that can take time), it should improve overall accuracy, especially for points of interest (POIs).

3. Firmware Update:

   • Firmware updates are separate from map data but can enhance system functionality.
   • Dealerships can perform these updates. Here’s how it works:
     1. The vehicle’s battery must be in good condition.
     2. A special charger stabilizes voltage during reprogramming.
     3. New firmware is inspected and upgraded if necessary.
     4. Then, using a special hard drive and tech stream, the map data is loaded into the system.

Remember, if these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be best to consult a mechanic or visit your Lexus dealership for further assistance. Safe travels!
