ahaase Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 My F900 seems to think that Oregon is in a different time zone from Washington. It will jump ahead 1 hour when I am driving across the Astoria Bridge, heading to Astoria, Oregon. Then, on my way back home (Washington) it will go back 1 hour. Any thoughts as to why this is happening? Thanks all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrdiesel Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Have you tried adjusting your Flux Capacitor? Time travel can be dangerous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahaase Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 ha! i guess i better. anyone else have any thoughts on this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3sixty Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think under nav settings there are time update options with DST on/off? But, yeah it doesn't make sense for the time to change though since you're entering the same time zone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourG Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah, I live in Portland, OR and when I let the GPS set the clock it sets it 1 hour ahead. Taking it back to self-set on the time zone and choosing PDT puts it back to the right time. No idea why, maybe it thinks I'm in AZ where they don't do DST. EDIT: Turns out the GPS is placing me in Mountain Standard Time (Boise is auto selected!). The GPS/Time menu indicates I've got excellent signal to multiple satellites, so WTF? I'll have to check my Garmin later to see which time zone that one's detecting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahaase Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks for the replies - I'll look around in the settings to see if I find anything weird... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourG Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Google search produced this little gem (http://www.navngo.com/pages/global/eng/ ... upport_faq): Time-Zone Error in Nav N Go iGO 8We inform you that, in the R1 versions of Nav N Go iGO 8, the Windows time zone may be incorrectly set depending on the GPS position (for instance, Minsk is selected for Hungary). The correction is already released in R1 patch (see above). The update now can be downloaded free of charge with the use of the Content Manager. Also, a workaround is available on your device by editing: /Program Files/iGO8/sys.txt and adding the following lines: [timezone] sync_os_timezone=0 reset_os_timezone=0 Attention: The modifications will only be activated when Nav N Go iGO 8 is restarted. The latest Nav N Go iGO 8 R1 patch (see above) provides a fix for this error. So hopefully the next vaporware update from Pioneer will patch iGo 8 to fix it. Nav N Go didn't have a patch file posted for Pioneer anywhere I could see, it required the device be able to connect to your PC via USB... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 NavNGo themselves only provide patches for standalone PDA versions of the product (and their own branded Limuzin PNA). Versions integrated into branded devices (i.e. old Mios, IPAQ 31x, Pioneer etc.) need to be updated by the manufacturer because they are custom builds... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourG Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Just a note to document that the 2.0 update did NOT fix the known iGo timezone bug, at least not for my unit (F90BT in Portland, Oregon, NOT Boise, Idaho like it still claims). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 So we probably need the latest version of iGo to fix this issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahaase Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hopefully Pioneer will address it with an update. For now, I just turned off the auto clock setting. The F series is definitely a work in progress. Maybe someday it will work flawlessly... but that's a definite 'maybe'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
