Rns 510 - no map display - screen white / black - all else works

**Sir_GTI** · 11-10-2011, 01:55 PM

Hi Guys,

I need some help.

Have a bit of a problem with the RNS 510.

I no longer have any maps displayed. Just a white / black screen, with the compass in the top right and the red circle and arrow in the bottom middle.

Everything else is working fine, radio, menu, lights and settings. I still get all other displays, just a white / black screen on the map.

Tried using the NAV to an address, all works until you click start, and it says no routes available for this destination.

I have reset the unit several times, and still no different. I have not updated the unit or messed with any settings. It was working fine last night, and this morning, nothing.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks

I have fixed the issue.

Under the setup menu, there is a system menu. I went in there, and I had the option to reset individual sections of the RNS. There were 2 options for the Nav section.

I selected the 2 check boxes, and reset. I then exited the setup menu, and the map was working fine again.

Even though I had reset the unit via the normal method < > and Star button, it still had to be done via the setup menu.

Very handy, as you can reset to factory here, or choose individual items to reset.

I am having this same issue, was working the other night and today nothing on the map screen but everything else still working. Have tried both reset methods ( left right and voice button, settings reset) anyone have any suggestions for a fix?

Yeah it tried the settings reset as mentioned above but still no luck. Does not seem to be much info around on it. Hoping maps disc will revive it, but still weird it went from OK to not OK with nothing being done to it

So far I have tried installing new maps, a firmware update followed by maps and then pulled out the unit and tested with a new GPS antenna. All to no avail, all that I get is no fix on the satellite and the screen GPS showing me as being in Europe.
Has anyone heard if the units just losing the satellite part if their functionality? The car is a 2011 so just out of warranty, do you think Skoda will still look at it without charging an arm or leg.

Unless someone can suggest something I have not tried?
