    Hi im in the UK in time zone (GMT +0) i noticed this morning on the Sat Nav that my estimated arrive time was an hour forward of where it should be.

    eg it was 8:10 the journey 35mins to go and it was showing on the left hand side of the screen arrival time of 9:45.

    only when i went into the Nav settings and changed it to (GMT -1) that it showed the right ETA but surely i shouldn't have to do that?

    any ideas guys

    Thanks Adrian, Cheshire, England, UK

    My Garmin only knows the registered time zone. It doesn't recognize when you cross a time zone boundary. So this seems like it is a general flaw across many GPS systems.

    Here in the US we have to change from standard time to daylight time manually so I'm not surprised.
