How do I get local time displayed? What about daylight-saving time?
GPS units operate on UTC time. UTC is the Universal Coordinated Time or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). You can input a local offset (or difference) from UTC so that the unit will display your local time. This option is located under the unit's operational setup. A chart is provided in products' owner's manuals to help you select the appropriate offset for your area. If needed, the chart will also show the UTC offset during daylight-saving periods. New
Garmin GPS units allow you to select the time zone you are currently in or select a time zone for a projected location by selecting from one of eight U.S. time zones or 24 international time zones. You may also turn an adjustment for daylight saving to auto, on, or off.
