Has anyone had problems with the icon going off the road with their sat nav, just fitted new one and had it calibrated at Nissan and it's doing the same thing again, can this be rectified. Going back in to nissan next week.

I’m guessing that you might be on a new-ish road and compared to the map on your SD card you are driving across a field

I have the latest map update in my QQ but there's still a short piece of new road near where I live where the Sat Nav shows me driving across fields :)

There have been one or two previous reports of this happening, but I don't know the resolution

If I remember correctly, the mapping/satnav companies use data supplied by Ordinance Survey.
Ordinance Survey aren’t constantly "on the road" updating their data and so mapping data memory cards, etc. are always going to be out of date.
It’s massively frustrating, of course, but I don’t see any way around the problem.

I’m told that google maps are generally more up to date.

Not sure if this is the same problem but on one occassion my map continued to scroll but the small arrow did not follow the road I was on. Apparently this is a known problem with a very easy solution. Just press the map button and all will be well.

My house is 1.5 years old and it's still not not on Google Maps, although it is on bing maps and open street maps.

You've misinterpreted

My understanding is that the problem being reported is nothing to do with the mapping accuracy, but a fault in the system itself which puts the pointer in the wrong position

OK Gloucester, I did misinterpret your comment.
However, I drive a new section of the A556 regularly and the map has me in the middle of a field despite being on brand new tarmac
