What is the story with the DST change taking place overnight. My understanding is that this is a week later than usual for NSW so how is a navigator supposed to do the alteration tonight.
Just in case it doesn't can anybody tell me how to do a MANUALl time alteration on a Garmin 510C (yes I've read the bookl and can't see any reference to it) and also on a Nuvi l260
Thankyou

Hey Wigger, daylight saving in NSW is now a full six months, and will be from now on. Times will be altered on the first Sunday in October each year, then will revert back on the first Sunday in April, 6 months later. This is supposed to be a constant in our lives now, no more guessing when it will be each year! I would think your Garmin should adjust itself, assuming the time zone is entered correctly. Hope this is of some help, Dave

I can't understand this Daylight Saving thing.
In WA we've been saving daylight for the last 5 months !
Why haven't we got any now when we need it? It still gets dark just after dinner !!
Surely if I had been saving money for the past 5 months I would have some extra right now. Why doesn't it work with sunlight?
Beats me.
Anyway I'm voting NO on May 16th. You bananabenders can have it if you want it.

Nuvi 260: Go to Tools==>Settings==>Time , then turn off and on manually if needed. There is an "auto" setting if needed.
Streetpilot c510:
StreetPilotc510_OwnersManual.pdf, page 19-20
Navigators can have an "auto" setting for DST, though it would need up-to-date firmware to allow accurate changovers. I would think that they are changed over already.
The GPS network isn't concerned with DST for location calculations and accurate timings and only the firmware would handle the displaying of time format using DST.
Just another good reason to scrap DST :-)

Thanks Andrew,
have been away for a week and left before seeing your reply. Problem was I selected "on" for adjustment of DST rather than "auto" on the 510. Have also done 260 as you advised.
