I made a little stop a local Target store after picking my US model 2005 A6 up from the mechanic's shop after they replaced an failed HID bulb. When I drove away from the Target lot, I noticed that the map on console display was frozen, showing my position still in the Target lot. I figured we had a little computer hiccup that would clear when programmed a destination in, so I did so. No dice--map still frozen with no path line and position indicator still in the Target lot, but the info bar at the right counted down distance correctly, and little map "repeater" in the center of the instrument panel showed each upcoming turn correctly. When commanded to show Destination Area, the map went blank, and when commanded to show Current Position, it again showed no path line and me still in the Target lot, even though I had driven several miles from there. But as I say, the info area the right and the "repeater" work correctly. Any idea what's wrong and what can be done about it?

I feel if I could get the the MMI to crash completely and reboot, as will sometime happen when I'm keying in a satellite channel number, that might clear the problem, but I haven't been able to provoke that "feature" when i want to.

 

The problem cleared when the car sat for a few days.
