Just checked my wonderful Garmin GPS12XL tonight. before midnight UTC I
checked navigation and UTC time and all was well. I did not bother to
check date for some reason. Well now April 6 2019 at 03:39:19 UTC I see
the time is 21 August 99 and no apparent way to change. The navigation
and time seem correct.

I heard there was a way to reset these to current date. Any thoughts?
Can I still use this as a tool for gathering waypoints with precision?

If you ignore date/year, everything else should be just as before.

Joe,

My 12 XL runs 24x7 so I tried switching it off and on, and the date and time
are still correct, but maybe that's stored data it's using?

When it boots, it shows 4.60 (1966-2003) as the software, so perhaps you can
update? Whether that fixes the issue I don't know....

Cheers,
David

Mine had the batteries out for about a year. Put some fresh ones in, turned it
on and set it outside for several minutes. It located position and is showing
today's date and time just fine. Software version on mine is 4.58.
