As you know, in 2007 the daylight time begins on March 11 rather than
April 2 and ends on November 4 rather than October 29. Just to keep
us confused, the new law says that in 2008, the dates will change
again. Go tohttp://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/daylight_time.htmlto
see a statement about this from the folks at the US Naval Observatory.

My question is this; does anyone know how our GPSRs, specificallyGarmin, will will handle this change. Since most receivers have an
Auto setting, won't this require a firmware update?

I got an email from Garmin the other day. Garmin advised that the
change for DST would be taken care of: "The Daylight savings time(DST)
would be taken care of by your satellite acquisition, the only product
that would need to be updated from our site would be our Palm units "
