I have a TomTom GO 920 that appears to have its time off by one hour.
Is there a "Daylight Savings Time" setting somewhere that I have not yet
found? Or is there something else I should be looking at

Tom

I like how he answered both questions with one word. That's verbal
economy! <bseg>

And it is in fact a helpful answer, although it obviously could've been
more directly helpful. "Teach a man to fish...", in a way.

Due to a less than helpful response to this issue, Let me rephrase the
question.....

Where is, and how do I change the "Daylight Savings Time" setting?

Per Tom Tom Tech Support, Tom Tom GO 920 Manual, countless sites easily
available at Google.
A little self-help would reveal the answer to your question.
There is no "Daylight Savings Time setting" per se on the GO 920.
" If you have a GPS signal, you may use Sync to 'sync' the minutes to the
correct time.
You will still need to change the hour to your locale"

Looking back, your first "YES" answer was really correct. I found that
I had been trying to reset the clock in the unit via the "Tom Tom Home"
program. Under the "Change Preferences" pick, the "Set Clock" option is
grayed out, and unable to function. After considerable time, my senior
citizen mind finally told me to try in on the unit itself. Eureka!

Belated thanks are in order.....

Tom
