I have a brand new GT, just got it Wednesday. Yesterday when I got home from work I noticed the gps location was off. It’s still wrong today- north/south is accurate but the car is telling me I’m about 2 miles east of actual location. I know the gps was correct Wednesday and earlier yesterday. The only thing I can think that may have messed it up is plugging my iPhone in and activating CarPlay yesterday afternoon. Is there some way to reset or fix this aside from going to the dealer? Thanks.

Try moving 2 miles east and check it again. If that doesn't work and it wont, call your dealer...

im an android user but...
im curious, if you plug your phone back in and go back to whatever you were doing when you noticed that your GPS location was incorrect. is it now correct now? maybe the "system" just needed to calibrate/get a known location... or something along those lines..

weird indeed.. but hey.. thats "computers" for ya ;)

yeah I’ll have to try that tomorrow. It was being weird even with my phone unplugged but once I turned apple CarPlay off it was fixed. Even when I turned CarPlay back on it was ok but the car wasn’t moving then either. I’ll update if anything else happens.
