Default Sat nav issue

I have a 16 plate V40 and for some reason my sat nav is out of calibration any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it? Doesn’t pick up the road I am on and says I’m miles away..

I would hazard a guess the GPS antenna is failing

I've had that once before but it fixed itself after about 15 mins. Thought I was driving through a field. No idea what caused it.

As I work in motor trade mate I am going to plug my car into a diagnostic machine today.. do you think if it finds the fault/clears it that my
Sat nav will work temporarily until I get my antenna replaced? Also when I do come to replacing my antenna is it a case of taking down the headlining to get to? Or can you get to it from the roof?
