iFly GPS Forum

Once again I update the 700 only to find its not only off timewise but its not the normal one hour behind. Its 0045 on saturday and the I fly says its 1552 on friday afternoon. More fiddling as usual and trying to remember how to reset the clock....oh yeah, the satellites are supposed to do the setting. I unplug and reboot and . . . still 1553 on friday. I go into the miscellany to try and fiddle with time zones....its set on eastern time because indiana east doesn't work. I try setting to pacific time and reboot. It comes up an hour behind pacific. Now I reset to eastern ( this is really tough because my finger is too big and the pen won't make it work) finally get it done. green x and unplug, reboot and one hour behind now so its 0050 on saturday in real life and 2350 on the gps. Try again and inadvertently hit indiana east time zone....unplug, reboot and now its right. I'm not touching it again til the next update which will be a long time. I use the clock on the unit and its one of the reasons I want the gps. Isn't there some way to fix the update process so it doesn't screw this up? Its a computer....it should be simple (says the old nerd who doesn't program computers).

Thanks

My clock is always off by at least several days, hours, and minutes. I have a 700. I can undertand this when sitting at desk without GPS, but it is off a lot of the time when I have the connection, such as now. It is 5/25/14 13:15 and the iFly front page says 5/19/14 13:32? On the GPS status page the GTC time appears to be incorrect with 8 sats and "good" for test. The clock on the instrument screen says 13:32. I even have a waas indication. I have tried all of the GPS resets.

The GPS page is now showing the correct time. It does not indicate a date? The front page and clock on instrument screen are still wrong by the same amount.
