How to reset the date on nuvi 1300

Before I was able to get my nuvi 1300 to update software and maps, I purchased a used unit off of ebay, in case my device was broken. The used unit has arrived, and I successfully updated the software and maps, after getting a new microSD card for it. I can't find the setting now, but at one point I had a choice to see World Clock and World Map. The date was September 16, 2006. How I can re-set the date, or is it supposed to re-set automatically when it finds a satellite signal? It finds a signal just fine. I tried setting the Time by choosing Automatic, but that did not update either. The minutes were right, but the hour was 1 hour slow.

The time is set automatically after receiving the satellite signal. However, your nüvi is suffering from the week number rollover: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_week_number_rollover

You can’t fix it yourself, only Garmin can do that with an update. I don’t know Garmin issued an update for this model regarding this problem, you can check it yourself with Garmin Express.

I’m under the impression that most of the date/time rollovers are handled by a software update to the device. That has been my case with (2) nuvi 265’s and (1) nuvi 2689.

Many models that were affected got a firmware update to fix that, but not all. Most notably the nüvi 500 series didn't get a rollover update, neither did the nüvi 30.

Thanks for the suggestions. It may a few more days before I have time to try any fixes.
