See if it’s recognised as Navigator V1-1 now rather than Navigator V1 when it’s connected to Express. Mine needed map and software updating when it arrived a few weeks ago.

Don't get too excited the one we have that is ghosting is also a Nav V1-1, it was a replacement.
You couldn’t make this situation up, at least they are replacing them for free.
Given that the latest and promised replacement devices are apparently only being shipped:
I am wondering if the fellow did indeed receive the latest updated version or one of the earlier ones, which are known to fail, too.

Mine lasted a few months
I think it is important to differentiate between:
A. Units that failed and were then replaced (to subsequently fail again) by units in ‘Edition 1’
B. Units that failed and were then replaced (to subsequently fail again) by units in ‘Edition 2’ the so called, Make Life a Ride devices
C. Units that are replaced by ‘Edition 3’ devices which, apparently, are not being released until we are through the first half of 2023
Or this thread will be flooded with “My replacement didn’t work’ type posts.

My edition 1 failed after 2 years (although only about 14 days of actual use due to Covid)
My edition 2 failed after 5 months.
I was also told by my local dealer they are not expecting to have any of the edition 3 units until early 2024.

I have just joined the ghosting club for the 3rd time. 1st one lasted 2 years, 2nd one 5 minutes, 3rd one 8 months.
The upshot of this thread, so far at least, is:
A. The edition 1 and edition 2 units are reasonably likely to display ghosting and other problems. That is old news.
B. Nobody has yet received a generation 3 replacement.
I’ll close it down until such time as someone satisfies part B.
