[TEC] Journal entries - wrong time?

[Ashikaga]

Time display is correct.

There is a difference between Nautical time and Time on your boat *German time*

You can set it so Nautical time is the same as the time in your boat though so everything is the same but that is not really realistic or accurate.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand. For example, my boat is near Memel. It is 9:13 GMT, which is 10:13 Nautical Time, and I can switch between any of those times being used in Message Box (and Ship's Journal, as far as entries from Message Box are concerned). Yet when I put an entry in journal manually, it is logged with time GMT + 2 (11:13), leading to my journal looking like this:



So "German Time" in this case would be GMT + 2 ? And if this is the time used on my boat, why would it be used only for manual journal entries?

Ah I see what you mean now.

Hahaha never realized it. Time in boat is 12:55, log entry I just made is 11.55 but my clock is at 13:55 now. Am near Ireland on lat 55,36N long 11,12W.

So not sure why my clock gives time as 13:55...
