When they replaced the entire GPS/radio it fixed my problem. The GPS was showing me off my route but it works fine now that they have replaced the unit.

Are you guys talking about the Built In GARMIN GPS system, it's issues, and it's need for update ?
Here in the USA, the Garmin software is not enabled, so any GPS functions are done from your smartphone .. (unless you have Hacked the HU and installed the GPS software directly on the HU).

Doing some research last night, I see the Garmin "did" have an Android GPS software APP called VIAGO, that even had offline maps. It would seem they dropped the distribution of the App (removed from the Play Store) about 8 months ago.

I am wondering exactly what the Garmin APP is that is installed in the 10th Head units, and why nobody has yet to figure out how to turn it on in the USA models !!

Not that I would really want to use it here in the USA, that has pretty good Cell coverage -- I know someone with an older Civic that has the Garmin GPS .. total pain to have to TYPE in destinations... Google map is so much easier .. as you can just easily SPEAK your destination, even when driving.

Bump … any find a solution to scrambled GPS? I think something in the car is screwing with the GPS signal because its messing up the GPS signal to my radar as well.

I've the same issue, my sedan is from late 2017:

My Honda dealer couldn't solve the problem.
But in a german Honda online community, someone said his dealership will replace the gauge cluster because somehow that's causing the problem. :confused:

Am I the only one who still has the accuracy problems? :)

The problem with the Honda dealers is, that the problem not always occurs. So they test drive the car and it works great. And that's the thing it works perfectly well in let's say 19 out of 20 times and then this one time it's doing this:

My 2017 Hatch Sport touring is doing the same thing. I've been in 3 times NO FIX. They changed the GPS antenna, then the entire GPS/radio. Doing the same thing.
When they replaced the entire GPS/radio it fixed my problem. The GPS was showing me off my route but it works fine now that they have replaced the unit.
I have updated Honda Connect and Garmin software, but i still have the same problem.
How are things going so far, was the problem fixed or do you guys still have the accuracy problems?

Nope, 2016 and still rarely works when I need it too. I've mentioned it every time I've brought the car in for anything so it's been very well documented there but they still haven't fixed anything.

It's the only problem I have with this car
