Um... could you describe in more detail the steps you are taking that are producing the choice of 1970/1971? Walk me through it, if you would.I saw how to set the time, but then when I went to enter the date for a scheduled trip the year only allowed for 1970 or 1971. Is there a way to fix this?
Of interest - the GPS system ignores leap seconds altogether. TAI (International Atomic Time) isn't adjusted for them either. Only "GMT" (aka "UTC") gets adjusted.Ah, yes. The GPS Standard Date. I suspect you are right. I wonder if the Tomtoms handle leap seconds properly?
As the world turns...
TAI runs ahead of GPS time (19 seconds)
GPS time runs ahead of UTC (currently 15 seconds)
I've been doing a bit of reading tonight and actually GMT can be ?1 second different from UTC.Only "GMT" (aka "UTC") gets adjusted.
Depends upon the clock source for the Anthorn transmitter. If actually NPL, that should put into the worldwide collection of synced cesium clocks. But are they adjusting TAI for UTC and transmitting that, or are they transmitting the TAI right off the NPL clock? Whichever it is, there's no question that you should see a difference per above as both of them are offset from GPS time.So if I look at my "radio controlled" alarm clock (which gets it's reference from the MSF tansmitter at Anthorn in the UK and is based on UTC(NPL),and compare it to "TomTom time" then I should see a 15 second difference?

@dhn....Probably like the OP in Prepare Route>Depart From>Select Destination>Fastest Route> Specific date and time?
But I'm confused too, because none of my units ask for a year!
@briccabrix.... Can you explain exactly where you are seeing the issue?
Maybe it's an old software thing? What version of software are you running?
Hi! I will try with your method...help me understanding well..now in italy is 17:00...for example i can set clock at 12:00...after that I go in the street and I fix satellite...then where have I to press "sync"?
I'm sorry if my language isn't so much correct!
