[Closed] Garmin 800 showing wrong time

I've reached the limit of my resources so maybe STW can help.

When the clocks changed in Autumn my Garmin never corrected the time. Annoying but I lived with it. This weekend I decided to do something about it. I've tried a few things. I did a factory reset and that made it worse. It is now 6 hours out. So I just tried to use the webupdater to reinstall the software and that hasn't helped either - still 6 hours out.

It has been outside, has full satellite reception as it knows where I am. The minutes are correct, just no the hours.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Does it have a timezone setting?

Sounds like a problem with the time zone map on the Edge. It should be a file named gmaptz.img in the Garmin folder. Maybe that has got corrupted.
Not sure if it is possible to download a new copy of the file anywhere. If you delete that file, then run the updater software, it might replace it with a new version.

might...

I was hoping the software reinstall would do that. Bit worried about just deleting it.
