My '14 2500 Longhorn has lost it! As long as the vehicle is in motion the compass heading goes in a clockwise direction and the nav map rotates to reflect the heading. Also the GPS location is not changing. The vehicle icon on the map just sits in one place while the map rotates. Anyone come across this before?

Only when doing donuts. :happy175: Sorry, couldn't resist. That's nuts, I'm sure someone's got the answer for this.

I'd start with doing the compass recalibration (see manual for instructions, but it's basically driving in circles slowly). If that doesn't fix it, maybe the compass module has gone bad? No expert, but that's where I'd start.

Thanks for the laugh and the advice. Got in her this morning and everything is working as it should.
