Last Known Location Time/Date?

I've lost my 530. Maybe left it on the bumper of my truck after a trail ride (stupid) because I couldn't find it anywhere after I got home. What's got me a little befuddled is I know I uploaded the ride via my phone at the trail parking lot since I have the data and I wasn't near any wifi spots, but the Last Known Location is my driveway. The ride data obviously has time/date information which gives me the , but is there a way to find out the time/date stamp of the Last Known Location?

yes. I was just about to write a question up and came across your posting. You could have written mine. You even had the stupid in the right spot. Exactly the same thing happened and the last known location…

was there ever any answer to this. I have exactly the same issue.

Nope. I never did find the 530. Tore apart the inside of my truck to see if had fallen down behind a seat/seatback. Ended up replacing it with an 830. Expensive lesson.

bummer. Think I'm heading the same way.

You obviously lost yours. Did the Last Known Location point to the wrong location also?

yes. I was just about to write a question up and came across your posting. You could have written mine. You even had the stupid in the right spot. Exactly the same thing happened and the last known location was in my driveway yet I had used the 530 on a ride 2 hours away

It would be good to know the time stamp on the last known location.I was hoping that whoever has it would switch it on and then i could trace it from there

I had stumbled onto not commonly known feature to add custom text to your splash screen. Something like "If found return to ... phone: xxx.xxx.xxxx" Instructions can be found here: https://ridefar.info/2020/08/how-to-increase-the-chance-that-a-lost-garmin-will-be-returned-to-you/

Technique also works with my GPSMap 64.
