Does anyone else have the time stamp problem? I would definitely find this annoying.

plug it into your pc. open the removable disk drive. click on TAG, type in your updated time and date in the same format, click file, click save, click exit.

I've had the same issue and I can't seem to find a cause either. It kind of seems to be hit and miss.

Yes my daughter gets very frustrated she had to deal with the time and date every time and can't get right to playtime. I've looked at the settings and can't figure out why it started doing this.

I enter the time, but I saw that my daughter just hit start.... maybe there's an automatic setting of 1 minute. We'll have to go back and read the manual, you and I !!!

I don't have mine set to Automatic clock time. I set the time zone and then I set the time. I automatically adjust with the time changes so I don't have to set that again. I've never had luck with the automatic clock time on any unit I've ever used. It always seems to not take time zones into consideration.

KMJ/Manfred: Does it mean device records timestamps as UTC? Or it allows user to mess it up and record "local time" instead? I hope the answer is former, because latter is serious design flaw.

There is no option, message is always printed, it goes to year 2017 on the stamp. It works great!!!!!!!!love it.

Yes. I don't use this feature, but if you go into the menu, you can set it to stamp for just the date or for the date and time.

I'm not sure what the supposed duration time is, but I have had the same problem.

I have the exact same problem as you describe. It is really annoying. You also have to set the time every time you reinsert the batteries.

Yes. We have tried to find a way to change it and can't. Does anyone out here know how to change to standard time?

I'd seek another timer, after a year the button used to set and start the count down timer are sticky and take some effort to make work. The set up of the time memories is not the most intuitive.

Mine switched from 12 to 24 hour format the first time I pressed a set key, and nothing I did afterward would switch it back to 12 hours. I went through every possible combination of the three buttons.

No, it doesn't seem like you can. The timestamp is at the bottom of the screen.

You should chill out. You sound like someone who was raised on microwaved food and too much television. My update DVDs only took two days. They were massive files. I was thankful that I did not have to download them. I have had absolutely no problem with Garmin's customer service either. Probably has something to do with the polite tone I used to address them. I had no problem with the updates wiping out my favorites, but I will say that it warned me to back them up. Maybe you missed that same warning? How would you like it if someone circumvented customer service and bothered you with a petty issue like this? The actual IT people have a lot more to do than listen to your complaints. Also, why must the IT people all have wives? Did you ever think that in the "modem age" women would be allowed outside of their houses....Heaven forbid we let them work in IT at Garmin! Cheers, Bkcraft PS Nice extended use of punctuation. You wouldn't frequent MySpace, by any chance, would you?

I guess we only have a choice of two -- the automatic one on which you can set the total time and then the custom one that we set however we want it. Yes, they are a pain to set.

Thanks, A. Gray. I decided to contact customer service, too. I really wanted a printable reference for the times. Much to my surprise, they sent me an email with a spreadsheet table, listing all the times. And they responded in less than four hours. Incredible. I have to wonder, as do you, why the times aren't included in this manual. In looking back through their previous models' manuals (available online) I see the times listed in most all the ones I looked through. This seems like an oversight on their part. Perhaps it will be corrected with the next printing.
