GPS F.A.Q.

Q. My eTrex Venture/Legend/Vista displays the wrong date. How can I change it?

A. If an incorrect date is displayed, performing the master reset described below will correct the problem. Note: The incorrect date displayed on these units does not affect navigation.

Master Reset
Warning: The Master Reset sequence will delete all routes, user waypoints, and tracks from memory.

Please refer to this diagram when completing these steps:

1. With power off, press and hold FIND, PAGE, and Click Stick, and then press POWER.

2. Release all four buttons after 5-10 seconds when the welcome page is displayed

3. All memory is now clear.

4. Place the unit outside with a clear view of the sky until satellites are acquired (The unit will display "3D GPS Location.")

Confirm that the Year is displayed correctly on the Menu page after satellite acquisition. Date and time will be displayed in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) and usually will not match local time until the Time Zone is configured in Setup.

Prevention
This problem may recur if the eTrex Venture, eTrex Legend, or eTrex Vista is stored without batteries. Recurrence can be prevented with an update to the latest software. Software updates are available as a free download for the eTrex Venture, eTrex Legend, and eTrex Vista.
