Didjerrydo Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'd loke to ask GOR$'r if he's noticed if the clock function actually functions correctly in the new Oregon. I never got it to keep accurate time in my Colorado. Surely this was fixed in the Oregon? Quote Link to comment

The clock in the unit is synced every time it gets a sat lock, I don't see how it could be wrong (unless there was a hardware failure with your unit). Do you possibly have a time zone or DST setting misconfigured? Quote Link to comment
+g-o-cashers Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I haven't seen any issues with the OR clock, but I'm assuming that you are referring to the clock being off when the unit boots before it has satellite lock? The timers/stopwatch on the OR don't run fast like the CO do. GO$Rs Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Except this is NOT a problem on all Colorados. Mine has always kept time properly. Quote Link to comment

GO$Rs What my experience has been with 3 different Colorado 300's, is that if the unit had been off for a couple of days or so, is then turned back on where a sat signal was unavailable, the clock was either several minutes to several DAYS off the correct time! Sure, this problem fixes itself once the unit re-acquires, but if you're depending on the alarm function or the barometric pressure plotting (while unit is off), you're out of luck! Surely this corrected in the Oregon. Quote Link to comment
