A
Time of Day
Time is transmitted from the GPS satellites using their atomic clocks as reference. The device factors in the time zone for your location as well as daylight savings time conditions to compute the local time displayed. There are no settings for the time displayed.

You should get the time from the satellites when the Magellan Roadmate 5630T-LM gets the vehicle's current GPS location. You may need to adjust the Time Zone. Press the Settings icon (wrench and screwdriver) on the Main Menu. Choose the Time Zone option (third icon down on the right side of the display in the manual). Tap the correct time zone for your area (including any daylight saving adjustments) and confirm to save the time zone. See the section of the manual on Settings starting on page 25 for how to navigate the menu. There are no details on the Time Zone section but the steps are similar throughout the menu. Magellan has the manual in their support section: https://service.magellangps.com/M0100/MagMainFrame.aspx . Chose the Downloads & FAQ section. After choosing your GPS model, click on the Manual tab. The current link to the manual is file:///F:/Users/Cindy/Downloads/RoadMate%205630T-LM%20User%20Manual.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Follow this link and you will see genuine Magellan watches: http://www.magellan-watch.com/collection.html Check out : Collection, Portrait, Media, Press review and you will understand there is no such a watch as Magellan Sports watch. Unfortunately you are the owner of unknown watch, probable Chinese made.

Assuming that you have the latest firmware installed. Do a MENU>>VIEW>>SETTINGS and then using the down arrow to scroll down. The Date and time and language and power settings are out of sight. scrool down and you will see date and time.

go to the system settings and change your time zone to your region and also make sure you check off daylight saving time box if you observe it in your location.

This appears to be a issue with the Magellan code. The Magellan code is setting Daylight Savings Time according to 2007 rules and not the 2008 rules. Magellan support indicates to change the time zone from Eastern to Central, save it and then put the time zone back to Eastern Time. I do not understand this solution. You can simply uncheck the Daylight Savings Time option and this will put the clock to the correct time. You will need to check the Daylight Savings Time option to put the clock ahead one hour when the clock is off by one hour. Magellan support informs me this is a manual process. Magellan needs to create a fix in their firmware to change the clock according to 2008 Daylight Savings Time when the box is checked.

I was in same situation with a magellan roadmate 1212. From what I can tell, the "daylight savings" is not what many of us may be accustomed to... that is, that it means that the location you are at follows daylight savings as happens with Windows or many other devices.

I bet those in Arizona never had a problem becuase they don't follow time zone... let me explain....

The daylight savings seems to state "are we currently under daylight savings time?" if we say yes (as you would normally state in your Windows computer setting (that would determine when daylight starts and stops and adjust pc time accordingly), the magellan 1212 instead will "ADD" one hour to the time stated by the Satellites regardless on whether it is summer ... or not.

So, if you happen to live in a time zone that follows "daylight savings" and you currently are under "daylight savings" time, then set it so in the "time zone".

So, there are two things you have to do:

/menu/user options/system settings/time zone/

1)Set your time zone
2)If currently under Set/unset the daylight savings set button to yes and manually move to no when not on DLS.

The explanation I found in MagellanGPS website is below, but never mentions what is the meaning (I should say effect) of the "daylight savings" button checkmark.

Magellan GPS receivers are not able to set the Time manually. In order to have the correct time set on your Magellan GPS receiver, you must set the proper time zone you are located in (ie Pacific, Central or Eastern). Once the time zone is set the exact hour and minute will display as information is received from the satellites. The following information will assist you on setting the time zone on your Magellan GPS. For Outdoor Triton series 200, 300, 400, 500, 1500 and 2000

1. From the map screen press Menu and select View
2. Select profiles and press Enter
3. Select hiking and press Enter
4. Press the Page/Go To key once and scroll down to select time zone
5. Press Enter to select your time zone and Enter again to confirm.
6. Press ESC repeatedly until you return to the map screen.

Note: Make sure Daylight Savings is adjusted accordingly. For Vehicle Navigation series Maestro and RoadMate 1200-1430

1. From the map screen select Menu
2. Select User Options
3. Select System Settings
4. Select Time Zone

Note: Make sure Daylight Savings is adjusted accordingly
