Incorrect Time of Day

On on page in upper right corner, next to the temperature display, the time being display is +2hrs from correct time for my time zone. Is there a way to fix this?

    go outside....

    I updated my Edge indoors.
    The time was really wrong.
    I took the Edge outdoors, waited for sattelite lock and .... the time was corrected automatically...

    Assuming that you have gotten a GPS fix and that the time did not get corrected then the problem is either a corrupt or missing time zone file.

    You can force an install of this file by deleting it from the Edge if it is there, Garmin\gmaptz.img. After removing it from the Edge switch the Edge on so that it can update the device.fit and GarminDevice.xml files.
    Next, connect it back to the PC and run Garmin Express. It should offer up the install of the time zone map.

    If it does not then let me know and I can post the file here and you can manually install it.


    I can confirm that this worked for me. My time was 6 hours out, after a gps fix.
    1. plug in garmin to computer,
    2. browse to gmaptz.img and delete.
    3. open garmin express and apply update.
    4. check garmin folder for new copy of gmaptz.img (current date stamp)
    5. remove garmin and go outside and get gps fix.
    6 working, within seconds my time of day was correct.

    Thanks

    I have the same problem, I tried to follow the procedure but somehow I can't make the device re-inststall the gmaptz.img file. can you post the right file here again ?

  • Try this. Rename to gmaptz.img

    Thank you, I did but issue is not resolved (I restarted the device, made sure it has good satellite reception etc..)

    Any other Ideas ?

    I just noticed that this thread is about the 520. I have a 530. maybe a different file is needed ?

  • They use the same time zone map

  • What region are you in and by how much is the time off by?

    GMT -2, the time on the Garmin is later by 3 hours and 54 minutes. very strange.

    I suddenly relied something : the device is probably not getting any satellites . this is why the time is off by a weird diff. I mostly use it with no map just to track distance / HR / elevation etc. could it be that it is doing dead reckogning to provide me with this data ? I have a speed sensor attached.. I also noticed on my grain connect that I don't see the track on the map any more. Any idea on how to trouble shoot ? tried to toggle the GPS control on / off, select GPS only, GPS + GLONASS etc.. nothing helped :(
