Feature Requests / Re: Correction for wrong date, Garmin Geko 301

« Last post by ScottMorris on March 14, 2021, 05:02:21 PM »

This is amazing because it's vaguely familiar.  I think this bug was there from the beginning with the Gecko and there may have even been something in TF to deal with it.  I don't see traces of it any more, but I can dig a little more.

It's correcting for the timezone when it shouldn't.

Feature Requests / Correction for wrong date, Garmin Geko 301

« Last post by Larry on March 13, 2021, 02:42:07 PM »

Hi Scott,

I recently found a Garmin Geko 301 as a backup to my trusty Geko 201 which I still find is the best GPS for what I do in the Cascades.  Although the 201 works as it should, the 301 gives the wrong date in spite of updating the software to the latest version (2.70) with the Garmin Web Updater.  The problem is as described here:  Geko 201 Time and Date are Incorrect | Garmin Support 

https://support.garmin.com/en-PH/?faq=ymYX4ugd4a7ES1hz2VUdu7&fbclid=IwAR3V6VrMLtx0J81hoy57XL7lYrf6pfgZYGWu9ClpC4upeARb_5rjJPcFzuc

Otherwise the unit works perfectly.

I can manually edit the .gpx file generated by TF to correct the date but it's an inconvenience.  It turns out that if I import the file into Excel and add 7 x 1024 = 7168 to the Excel date, the correct date is generated.  I know this is a minor issue but it would be great if there were a way to correct or change dates (not the time, just the date) from within TF.
Or perhaps there is another solution I have overlooked.
Thanks so much for your continued work!

Larry

Send me an email and I'll send you a debug version of the software.  We'll go from there.

Thanks.

Just a note, I did not get to full declination / grid options.  But you can now turn off the grid lines on the map and just have the labels in the latest version (released today).

Cheers

Hi Jim,

The best way to do this is using the 'Export View' function found in the File menu.  It will produce a JPG (or BMP for better quality) map of the current view, but if you increase the size of the export it will keep the same view and export a high res image.  Depending on your video card it might go as high as 16000x16000 which is quite large (some hardware will be limited to 8192x8192).

Once you have the file, use some image software to print it out.

Feel free to ask further questions.

Thanks
