Garmin time not correct even after syncing with GPS

1975614 over 3 years ago

I'm on version 8.20
My time is not synced even after GPS is locked.

If your Edge is paired with your mobile phone in Garmin Mobile Connect app then it will sync this timezone map file with next sync. (But probably it will sync it via wifi connection too if the BT pairing…

Did You turn off the unit completely? (long press Power button , not the short one which is just a sleep mode)

yup.. And went to re-lock
and it's still giving me the wrong time.

Wrong time means wrong time zone and shifted with X hours? or just seconds/minutes difference?

timezone is wrong. 13 hours difference.
how do i change the timezone?

search and delete the GMAPTZ.img file on your Garmin in a file manager and download it again via Garmin Express or via BT with Garmin Connect Mobile

If your Edge is paired with your mobile phone in Garmin Mobile Connect app then it will sync this timezone map file with next sync. (But probably it will sync it via wifi connection too if the BT pairing is not done). On your computer there is the Garmin Express app, so if You connect it with USB cable, then the Express will sync this timezone file too. It must work, check in file manager again that is there new gmaptz file in the folder and what its date (should be the today's date)

OKie! It worked.. took some time before it synced.
Thanks!

There's also another Gmaptz.sum.
Just wondering i should remove it if it doesn't sync as well.

Great! Yeah, this file is larger a bit than the files during regular symcs.

That is a SUMmary file, probably for crc error checking of the .img file, could be deleted as well.
