Default Cannot calculate a route - now I can!

Some weirdness with my RNS-C that I think was triggered around swapping CD's (2007 Final Edition non-DX from England to Scotland).
It just refused to calculate a route, though otherwise all seemed fine.

I swapped around, even went back to my 2003 CD, no joy!

So I pulled the relevant fuse in the boot, waited, and put it back. No change.
The map display was showing me in the correct place and when I put a nearby destination in showed that too, but wouldn't connect them.

Then I thought - the car's on the drive and hasn't been moved through all this .........

So I started it up and drove backwards and forwards a couple of times - only about the cars length, I didn't go onto the road. And it started working with no intervention.

I don't totally understand the logic, but presumably it hadn't "attached" me to a road (or lost the connection while swapping CD's) but didn't complain or come up with an "off-road condition". Just moving backwards and forwards a few feet obviously made it think I was on the adjacent road and kick into life.

Very weird, but worth knowing if anyone has a similar strange experience.
