Sat NAV working OK Saturday but Sunday switched on and said I'm sat in the English channel, a bit later I was in portsmouth, when I was in Southampton, does this sound like the GPS ant has failed, it was not a MB one it came from Comand on line but has been working fine, or could it be something else, your help is most welcome

It very much sounds like the antenna is faulty. A Star check it what is needed.

May also be in need of a newer firmware. There are many such examples of bugs fixed by newer software.

The other alternative is that the antenna is actually moving around under the dash.

Can you switch to the compass display and see how many satellites it sees?
