Re: wrong date on Garmin 12 GPS - copy of April 2005 post

Do you know if the same sequence will work with the Garmin 12CX? That is
color version of the Garmin 12. Thanks

The date on my Garmin 12 GPS version 4.59 has reset itself to 12 -sep -
1987. I cannot find a fix on the Garmin user support site. I see that
someone had a fix for this last year on this list. Can someone help me
out? Thanks!

I trust this helps
Cheers

Subject: GPS12 - DATE ERROR - Actual working fix - Brutal reset!!


I received the following advice from Garmin UK by phone earlier today -
AND
IT WORKED!!

I have not found this published elsewhere so it seems worth circulating
for
others who get problems with their GPS 12 showing the wrong date - you
may
recall ours showed the date to be 2048 weeks ahead - June 2044.

Inevitably it is your risk if you try this!!

1 Switch off
2 Press MARK and power on together.
3 When it says "do you wish to delete data" it should default to YES.
4 Switch it to NO,
5 then switch it back to YES,
6 then switch it back to NO,
7 then switch it back to YES
8 finally press ENTER

The device then does a very slow recovery as it acquires data from the
satellites and may even show incorrect dates until fully recovered but at
the end 10 -15 minutes all is/was well!

All the best, sorry if it seems messy,. It's not April 1st and it worked
!!

Thanks again to the unknown voice at Garmin UK
