The GPS on Yo Ho has a clock, of course, but it's never set to the right

battery switches

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...
