Chet's Corner: More Daylight Savings Time Information

From: Garmin

I know that we posted yesterday about the earlier than normal arrival of Daylight Savings Time (DST) but I think it's a good idea to keep bringing it up. We are working on getting software updates for all of our GPS units so that they recognize Daylight Savings Time correctly but they are not all available as of yet. We are constantly going to be updating the list of units that have updates available here in our Support section.

Another way that you can check is just keep running the WebUpdater program with your device connected to the computer. When an update is available for your device, it will list the changes that have been made in that update. You can see there if the DST update is ready for your device.

In the meantime if your device does not have an update available, you can go into the settings for your device and turn DST to "On" so it shows the correct time. Click here to go to the Owner's Manual section of our website to find instructions to set the DST on your specific device.
