Garmin GNC 250 - Manual (Page 35)

When the count down timer reaches zero, you will be informed with a ‘Timer
expired’ message. The timer will then begin to count up, keeping track of how long it
has been since it expired. The timers run, if not altered, anytime the GNC 250 is on.
The GNC 250 clock function keeps track of both UTC time (Greenwich Mean
Time or Zulu Time calculated from the satellites) and local time, and allows you to
designate which format is used for ETA calculations. The local time and date can be
