ROTFLMAO!

Um - wouldn't the GPS pick up the UTC time from the satellite and
convert it using the local offset you input when you first set it up?

Yes.

That's correct. Any decent GPS will store your basic info including
your offset with, or without, normal power.

Yes. It writes the data to NVRAM...forever keeping its time zone, unless
changed manually.

I fired up my old Garmin
GPS 12 with new batteries after a long "vacation" and it still had the
basic presets in memory.

As any modern GPS will.

This is just another lie from our village idiot...ignore the boatless twit.

After all, this is the clown who sets his boat trim, based on his GPS's
hundredths of a MPH reading! LOL!

The final question now is, will the liar post a reply with some hair-brained
excuse, or just ignore the rest of the thread...as he has done many, many
times...

Did Harry really say that?

NOYB,
Do you get the feeling that Harry doesn't own a GPS either?

Now THAT is funny...and so true.

Skipper,
It does not amaze me that Harry doesn't own a GPS, but it does amaze me that
he didn't know the GPS had a built in clock.

I would have thought he would have read about it in one of his boating
magazines.

It goes MUCH further than that. Krause once had a discussion with
Skipper where he took the position that a sextant was much better for
navigating the Chesapeake, and all coastal navigation for that matter,
than a GPS. Worse, Harry was dead serious...or should I say DED serious?
It's in the archives.

But I thought *you* are Skipper?

I pretended to have one once, it was nice.

Lunch was nice;


Festered rodent bowel and stinkbug genitalia seasoning garnished with
fricasseed flea offal, cooked in a steaming cup filled with small pieces of
salsa and garlic in tea, a side of pastries and a mug of jellied intestine.
