Event Timer - Garmin GPS 50 Owner's Manual

The Date/Time Page displays the date and time in either UTC or local format.
In addition, the format you select on this page is used for time displays on
other pages.
To change the time display...
· Press MORE to select either " LCL" (local) or " UTC" .
The GPS 50 will keep track of local as well as UTC time. UTC, which is
essentially the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), does not change with
local time zones. It is the time at 0 degrees longitude which passes through
the city of Greenwich, England. The GPS 50 automatically corrects the UTC
date and time with information received from the satellites.
Due to the irregular nature of time zones, the GPS 50 does not attempt to
correct your local time when you pass from one time zone to another.
To update your local date and time...
· Press MORE until " LCL" is displayed in the time selection field.
· With the cursor under the date field, enter your local date in year,
month, day format.
· With the cursor under the time field, enter your local time in 24-hour
format.
