Time zone not updating

gazer_ over 2 years ago

I'm on an overseas trip and the time on my 530 appears stuck in my home time zone.

Is there a way to get it to update?

I've been on a ride with it, so GPS is connecting fine.

I've tried power cycling and syncing with phone

Any other options? (Besides Garmin Express, as I don't have a computer able to run it with me)

I reset unit completely and now it seems to be stuck on Mountain time instead of UK time. Not helpful.

It sounds like the unit is either missing or has a corrupt time zone map file.

Without access to a PC it is going to be hard to fix as you need to get this file in the Garmin folder on teh unit. It should be named gmaptz.img

Thank you! I was able to transfer the file from my Android tablet to the GPS. Restarted, and I'm finally in local time. LEL ready.
