Click on the state you're in (no - not drunk) and away you go.

Alternatively go to the clock section of your GPS and do it.

There are other buttons on it besides "GOTO"

Actually Stally,

I've been informed by one of the super geeks from the tech. services side of Airservises Australia that the time on the GPS isn't actually the correct time, as the clocks on the GPS satellies don't make allowance for the Leap seconds that have occurred since the start of the GPS program; the GPS units knowing the date, correct the time that they use to workout the nav. solution, but apparently this isn't the time that's displayed to you and I from the GPS.

But for most of us what's at most 6 seconds(at present I think); I use the GPS time; if I'm late by 6 seconds well I'm late.

I especially love the instruction that "The sun is shining in the light region;It is night in the dark region"....a US site. Say no more.
