Hello Dean: I do have a question regarding the time zone setting. When you choose daylight savings and of course depending on the time of year realizing the time difference I thought after daylight saving goes back I noticed you have to say and then the unit's time would go back or ahead an hour depending but I'd like to suggest if this could be automated like a PC's clock but maybe because of windows CE this might not be possible but just a suggestion.
