Just had a complaint to rant about here. Not sure if anyone else feels the same way.

 

Why is it that GPS's can't update the clock when you cross into another time zone? The time zones boundries are stationary points that seems like a very easy thing to integrate into the map data of a nav unit. The Z130 appears to get it's time from GPS advertised time (although the time doesn't seem to be GMT, because my offset does not match my -5 hr offset for EST). Every GPS I have owned does not do this, but it seems like such an easy thing to incorporate into it. If you're position is in a certain time zone, then it should automatically compute the offset for the local time (and even incorporate this into arrival times for route calculation).

 

I'm really happy with my Z130 after using it a couple of weeks, but things like this should be standard (unless I'm missing something that is just technically unfeasible) on a "flagship" nav unit.

 

(Stepping off my soapbox...)
