My14 sat nav not working, advice please

Hello,
My my14 hdd sat nav has just stopped working, it will not allow me to enter a destination. It wont cancel the the last destination, i have tried the restore settings but that does not work. I have just started a 3 week touring holiday so any advice on how to make it work would be useful.
Cheers.

Does disconnecting the battery reset anything else such as the towbar programming. I know it will reset the windows but I don't want to reset the towbar wiring. (It's land rover 13 pin).

Simple Solution - head straight to your nearest LR dealer, explain you are on holiday and I am sure they will pull out all the stops to get you on your way as quickly as possible.

I had an issue several years ago in a BMW whilst on holiday in Devon. Horn would sound when turning the steering wheel. Took it straight to BMW in Barnstaple and explained I was on holiday and they bent over backwards to get it sorted and have me back on my way in 30 minutes.

The navigation has started working again by itself, took a few short journeys before it unlocked, I couldn't find the time to disconnect the battery. The system now takes about 45 seconds to wake up though, the screen says 'navigation initializing' for a while on start up. I may stop at a dealers if I pass one or call lr assist if it goes again. Cheers for replies.

They do seem to be a bit idiosyncratic. Mine sometimes comes on straight away, sometimes takes a while to wake up. And every so often it thinks it's in Holland for about 30 seconds, then gives me a "welcome to the UK!" message. It's recently taken to tracking my every movement with a dotted line - I'm sure it didn't do that before.
It sounds as though yours may be having difficulty picking up the satellites - hence the length of time it takes to turn on. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Have you got it in off road mode ?? So you can go back on your track ?

Just a thought ... Mine asks on or off road navigation when it first starts

That's a thought, thanks. I did put it into off-road mode recently - just playing - so maybe I didn't release it again. No it doesn't ask on startup though. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

That's sorted - I went into off-road mode and turned off the tracking. Interesting that it seems to be an off-road feature, but persists when you go back to on-road. At least, I think that's what happened. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

I can't see the need for the 'off road' feature in this country as we're never far from civilisation, however it would be good to reverse track in the Australian outback I suppose Neutral .
