Hey hi everyone
I am having trouble with my satnav, it's says I am off road all the time. I can sit on my street and enter it as a destination but satnav starts my journey from 6 to 10 miles away.
Satnav was working fine until about a week ago.
Has anyone had this problem, is there an easy fix?
Car in question is 2017 S3.
Any help would be much appreciated 👍

Darn, could be a faulty GPS antenna which is the shark fin on the roof or maybe it'll resolve on its own since you said it happened recently.

Audi Navigation is not good at all. If you miss an exit the nav will redirect you back.
With Google Maps it calculates a new route. No going back!
Check if you can have Android Auto connect to your MMI. I've seen it working but if you have a passenger, the easiest and most accurate option is to have the passenger use a reading tablet and just run Google Maps on it.

Hey Johnny.
Thanks for the info, I have the digital dash which shows the maps, just want it to look correct, Google maps only shows on the pop up screen . 380 for new license and set up from audi.
