Nav. System off by a factor of 10.

I just picked up my 2011 535xi yesterday and was playing with the Navigation system. I noticed that all of the distance notifications that it gives are increased by a factor of 10. When I'm 50 feet from a turn, it says 500feet. When I'm right next to the turn, it says 100 feet. Anyone else having this problem?

You know I noticed something similar in my 535i when I first got it. However after a week or two everything got a lot more accurate. I don't know if there was some tuning that had to be done (I remember my old 335i manual said to drive in figure 8s depending on your latitude :-)), but seems to be working fine now.
