Default Navigation Displaying Wrong Location?

Anyone have a strange issue where the navigation is indicating the wrong location? And not by a couple feet or so, but different state. I tried unplugging the battery to see if that would reset but that didn't work. Is there a way to reset the nav unit somehow? Only other thing I can think of is the antenna and/or cable is damaged thereby making the unit think it's in a totally different location?

My 17/R coupe did this. Ended up being the antenna.

It would help to know your MY and infotainment system. My F-Pace ICTP once showed I was in the middle of a swamp - not as bad as another state, but off by several hundred yards. The fix in my case was a software refresh.

My 2017 SVR is off by about a couple of hundred feet. Consistently thinks it's parked 3 doors down.... And the journey app shows it sort of following the road but 'missing' bends and jumping around. Strange. Dealer could never tell what was wrong. Doesn't seem to have any other issues

From what I understand, the GPS antenna is integrated with the radio antenna, which if you have a coupe, is the fin on top of the car.. If you have a convertible I think it's somehow related in the trunk lid.
