Time setting Q, please

[Ardea]

The time setup section shows:

+/- 00 2013.10.24 14.54

I am guessing the first two digits relate to time zones? Is this "Offset from UTC"?** Do the gps stellites broadcast a time signal for gps devices?


** see timeanddate.com/time/map, or wikipedia time zones

Arder, I used the following site to determine the correct time zone http://www.worldtimezone.com/, looking at Great Britain the correct time zone should be UTC 0, (AKA GMT (Greenwich mean time) but, using the mini0801 you may need to set the zone one zone east or UTC +1, as the mini 0801's GMT algorithm appears to be incorrect (using firmware 2013 0903). Yes, with the GPS option, your time will sync correctly, once you determine the proper offset.

After sending this message I was worried if I used the name "Great Britain" properly, according to this video I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10 .

i just set mine to 00 and was 1 hour behind so set it to +01 and is correct with gps now, but come to think of it the clocks go back tomorrow so +00 will be the one
