Default PCM Navigation Problem

I recently acquired a mid 2006 997S Cab. Everything works great in the head unit, Sound system, etc. The navigation, However does not.

It has what appears to be current, software.

The problem is...it appears to be stuck on the Previous owner's location in San Diego. It doesn't update location on the map.
I, unfortunately, am in Florida.

I checked to software and it shows a fault triangle for the amplifier??



Any ideas of where to start? I've heard incorrect amplifiers causing issues. But I have working audio?

Do I just need the update CDs, to correct the problem?

Here's the pictures...

You need to go to the nav screen and see if it is pick up any satellites. Bottom of one of the screens show how many sats it is picking up. Could be a lose antenna connection or bad antenna.
You have to be careful with some of the software updates. There was one that would brick the amp if done wrong. Previous owner could have done a bad update.

Looks like I found it!! The GPS antenna was unplugged!! I'll report back if it fully fixes the problem.
