I apologize if this is the 50th time someone has posted this question. I tried a search first, and didn't come up with anything.
Anyway, I have an '06 Expedition with the factory CD based navvigation. Other than it being pretty bottom of the barrel tech wise, I've not had any problems...until recently.
A day or two ago, I noticed I had the correct East/West position, but was off several streets North/South. Since then, I have continued to monitor it, and every once in a while it is right on, but most of the time now it is only correct in one direction (N/S or E/W).
Thoughts?

Sounds like the antenna may be going bad. I don't have a factory unit but I can always tell when my antenna on my Pioneer unit is going, it has me all over the place.
Is there any kind of status monitor on the unit that shows how strong the satellite signal is?

There is an "adjust location" option in the system menu that allows you to move the vehicle around in pretty coarse units...1/16 of a mile or so. I'm gonna give that a shot.
