    It should be fixed now. It has a "daylight savings time bug" so that it will be off by one hour for 2 weeks out of the year in the spring and another 2 weeks in the fall. Now that we had the DST shift on Saturday night, you can set it back to the actual time zone you are in and the ETA will be right.

    It can be fixed by PC Miler with a firmware update by sending it in to them In Minnesota or I can fix them at our shop also if you get a load going to the Northwest.

    Sounds like you need to hook it up to your computer and update it. Had a similar problem with mine last year and that fixed it.

    Mine has it's own program that will automatically open when you plug it in to the computer. The program works through the internet.

    i wished they would fix the eta bug. mine takes way too long for destination. it's not bad on very short trips and gets more accurate as i get closer within 40 miles but anything over 200 miles forget it.

    i have to use a program on my phone if i want accurate eta.
