Now there is a toy I have to have....off to the www to get details John -----Original Message----- From: Navigation Mailing List [mailto:NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM] On Behalf Of Dan Allen Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 8:55 AM To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM Subject: Re: Cell phone time, etc On Apr 15, 2005, at 11:50 PM, Frank R wrote: > That is, do you get time zone changes as you drive along a highway? Yes I do, that is why I found it curious that I did not get DST updates without turning the phone on and off. Now I have a new toy: a Swatch watch which automatically tracks WWV stations and other unspecified satellite or cell tower sources to handle DST, time zones, and so forth. It did not work too well as I crossed America by air yesterday until right before I landed - then the time zone changed from Eastern to Mountain. I need more technical details about how it obtains position information (no GPS in it).
