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.

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
