Magellan Maestro 3200 GPS - wrong time on unit

shared by 7 users

posted by bobbi246 on Jan 01, 2008


the time is about 21 minutes off on the Magellan. Can't find anyplace to change the time. If it is controlled by the Satellite how can it be off 21 minutes. We have it set for central time zone
I have the same problem

My 3200 is about 3 minutes slow, and nothing I've tried will fix it.

My Magellan GPS clock is off by 7 minutes. This seems impossible; but it is. On one thread I read that a complete reset will fix this but of course I would lose all information with no guarantees it wouldn't happen again.

I have a similar problem with my Maestro 3225. It is off by 3 minutes and 39 seconds right now and seems to be growing about 1 minute per week. Eventually the ETA will be useless without some extra math. A GPS receiver only works by measuring extremely precise timing signals, so I am sure that it internally knows time to better than a microsecond (probably nanoseconds) to tell me where I am as accurately as it does. Go figure.
