3.2 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.
