Q. My GPS 76/GPSMAP76 displays the wrong date. How can I change it?

A. If an incorrect date is displayed, performing the master reset described below will correct the problem. Note: The incorrect date displayed on these units does not affect navigation.

Master Reset
Warning: The Master Reset sequence will delete all routes, user waypoints, and tracks from memory.

1. With power off, press and hold QUIT and MENU, and then press POWER.
2. Release all three buttons after 5-10 seconds when the welcome page is displayed
3. Memory is now clear.
4. Place the unit outside with a clear view of the sky until satellites are acquired (The unit will display "3D GPS Location.") Confirm that the Year is displayed correctly on the Satellite Status page after satellite acquisition. Date and time will be displayed in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) and usually will not match local time until the Time Zone is configured in Setup.
