Is the date on your Calendar wrong?
I was playing around with the nav this evening (around 10PM) and noticed that the date was wrong.. It had tomorrows date as today. Not sure if it is basing on GMT, or Japan, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to change it.
Any ideas? I did do a "quick" look through the nav manual, but did not see anything..

Of course, that doesn't help the original poster, who is looking for the place you set date and time. I don't recall where that is offhand, but I suspect its in the same setup menu somewhere (remember that it is a multi-page menu, so you might need to scroll through the screens).

Is your time zone set correctly? Don't know where you were in the US (presume southern CA based on your username) and your timezone was set to, let's say Central, you would be at least 2 hours off. Given that it was 10pm where you were, this would account for the calendar difference.
Bottom line - check your timezone setting and make sure it's correct.

Assuming it is a NAV system YOU (or your dealer) must set the TIMEZONE and whether DST is in effect or not. The system sets the correct local time based on the GPS information.
On a similar note. How many have checked the Compass zone setting? Mine was off by 2 zones so I reset it and recalibrated. It made some difference.

My Alpine "Blackbird" portable NAV unit also gave incorrect time (and hence also expected arrival time) readings last Spring when we switched to the new "improved" daylight saving time a few weeks earlier than normal. I had to change my time-zone/DST setting temporarily to correct this. I'll presumably have the same issue again this Fall. I guess that the software in the Blackbird wasn't updated to the new change-of-date formula.

Sorry for taking so long to respond... But YES, it was the timezone.. Evidently, it was set for -5 (East Coast) versus -8 for California. I assumed it would have been tied to the regional map I was using..
Silly me.. Odd thing is, my TCH is built in Japan, arrived in the Long Beach Port, and stayed in SoCal (3 miles on the ODO when I picked it up).. I wonder if it was just set to Eastern time by default?
