    So I noticed my GPS hasn't figured out we're in DST. Thus it reports however many minutes less one hour ago. Annoying. Um, does anyone know how to change that? Surely it can be changed.

    It's also annoying that NY and NJ are in different map zones. (Just a general complaint.)

    :D

    if your refering to the Nav in the Prius it's on a DVD in the player under the passenger seat and as the data is burnt to the DVD the only way is to replace it. Like your computer if it's a few years old it didn't know about the change. So you manually change the time but you can't change a DVD. Phone Toyota and complain. If it's a hand held check the maker for a update.

    Huh? Can't you just set the clock?

    When using GPS I only notice it telling me that my ETA is XX minutes, not a specific time... but maybe I'm confused.

    Dear Confused,

    The GPS on my 2006 Prius gives me an ETA in XX minutes *AND* a specific time. It is NOT tied into the clock on my dash.

    Signed,

    Dazed

    I am referring to the Nav on my 2006 Prius. I have many computers, all Macs (thank God), and all of them know what time it is DST or not since that's a function of the patched OS talking to a time server over the great abyss AKA The Internet. It just works ;)

    My questions are: can I change the time that my GPS reports and if so HOW do I do that?

    Meow.

    So last night I was sitting in my car killing time and decided to RTFM and put the DST issue down for good. There's a DST selection in the GSP set up section which, when invoked, reports the correct xx:xx ETA.

    :D

    I was thinking about your problem the other day, and noticed that ETA can be set in EITHER minutes until arrival, or time of arrival. I switched mine from minutes to time, and lo and behold, mine was also an hour off :) I would NEVER have seen that feature otherwise, so thanks for teaching me something new!
