Sat-nav error - will it have to be fixed by main dealer?

The sat-nav on my 2019 Volkswagen T-Cross has 'lost' the car. It puts us driving across fields etc. Is there an easy fix? Or a trip to the main dealer? The warranty has just run out!

This is very likely due to a failed or faulty GPS antenna for the sat-nav. It may have become disconnected which could be a simple fix, but it could be from water ingress which is more serious. A visit to the dealer (or a cheaper VW specialist) is the best bet.

My car’s sat nav does not read the correct start position. It’s about 30 miles from true position. I just bought an updated SIM card but the error is still there. How do I reset it?
I just bought an Audi Q3 but the sat nav has no SD card. I have contacted Audi and they say it needs to be activated at a cost of £670. Surely an SD card is not that much
A local road had its speed limit reduced from 40 to 30 in August 2023 but the GPS in my car still shows 40. Who's job is it to get a database updated when a speed limit is changed?
