Garmin Egde 520 wrong time

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hello there,
It's been a while since my 520 displays wrong time (1 hour ahead) and it can't be corrected. I have my device updated and it is supposed to get time and time zone information when the GPS signal locks, but no luck. GarminConnect shows the wrong time at the activities, even if it manages to identify the right time zone (GMT +2), while Strava displays the right one.

Can I do something manually? Should I go for a factory reset?

Thanks!

It's a file on your device that tells it all about time zones, named gmaptz.img ... http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4747

I had visited that page but through Garmin Express I get the message "You're up to date! Software Version 12.50". How can I install this specific file?

Alright, I solved this doing the following:
- Kept a backup of gmaptz.img just in case
- Deleted gmaptz.img from the device
- Synced it once more with Garmin Express
The file was created from scratch and now it displays the correct answer.

Thanks for the help SUSSAMB!
