2009 Mazda 6: Navigation Back on Course

09_mazda_6_det_nav.jpg

We dropped off the Mazda 6 at Long Beach Mazda to have its navigation fixed. Within a couple hours the phone rang. "You're car is ready. We calibrated the nav system and you're no longer swimming in the Pacific."

See that arrow on the nav screen? Well, that is exactly where I parked to take this picture. I consider that a job well done. Finally, a competent service department.

I suspected either a quick RTFM or a search in an owners' forum online would provide the answer for this.

I'm surprised no one tried given that people spend six hours making suspension/physics/engineering posts.

I just checked RTFM and the manual does not have an answer.

I bet someone has figured out how to do the calib. though and posted it in an owners forum. possible though that it really does need a fancy expensive dealer computer plugged in, something the first dealer probably forgot (or didn't know).

Why isn't the time displayed on the screen? Something is still not right with the nav system. The time should be set by the satt signal.
