Narrative:
Enroute to ZZZ1 at FL340; both captain and first officer FMC issues developed into a situation where the navigation to points became unreliable. Autopilot frequently disengaged; safe operation into ZZZZ1 with IFR operations could not be accomplished. Referenced QRH for FMC fail; non-routine landing; and overweight landing checklists. Priority handling was requested; decision was made to divert to ZZZ2 with VFR conditions; and long runway to perform overweight landing. Landing ZZZ2 uneventful; aircraft taken out of service. Photos of FMC values and indications which may have affected navigation attached.
