Hi Eurotramp,
About the date and time it looks like I'm getting utc time now, as I have a one hour difference from my local time, but for the first days of use after the firmware update, it kept on using the local date and time.
Using utc time is not a big issue, as long as I'm aware of this.
Yes I get erratic speeds when I'm parked between buildings, so the number of satellites acquired must be low.
About the compass, yes it's the one included in the registrator viewer, calculated with the gps, as I think the device doesn't have an accelerometer built-in.
I don't think viofo wants to keep this product up to date, as the reported issues are not solved in new firmwares and firmwares are not released very often.
It's a pity because the hardware seems very capable.
Now I'm sure my device works properly, I will use the sticky back mount to install it permanently behind the rear view Mirror, and hope the device will have a good lifespan.
I've been using a X3000 that was working pefectly for a year and one week before it died.
I opened it and found it was the linear battery charger that had blown out, and a diode too.
I could replace the linear charger but I don't know which diode to use so I'm stuck here for the moment.
Good evening
