ADJUSTING THE TIME

The time information supplied by the GPS satellites is in Universal Time Coordinates (UTC or
Greenwich England Mean Time). To change the GPS Chart Plotter to read the correct time, first
you must figure out the offset and if it is daylight savings time. For example on the West coast of
the United States or Pacific Standard Time the offset needed would be –08:00 or –07:00 for daylight
savings time, Eastern Standard Time –05:00 or –04:00 for daylight savings time.

This map shows offset for standard time. For daylight saving time, subtract one hour from the offset time.
