Default How to manually change the timezone on NAVI?

IS250 2007
I've got navi unit from USA, using it with European maps, there some troubles with it (it dont give english voice guidance and dont show POI as icons on the maps) but the main problem, is that I could not change the timezone to european. In menu it allows to select on US continental zones, no way to enter f.e. GMT +3 and so on...

Does anyone know how to fix it? Or may be there is more complete way to convert the entire system from US to EU?a

If you know the time zone in your area, on the screen time zone click on it, click other, and you should be able to put in the time zone.

I also have USA nav unit and never found a reason to change the time zone in it or mess with nav clock in any other way (not even sure if there is one at all).

ISBU, I can click only on pictures of the US continent, and their time zone significantly differs from mine.

A/C, I need correct time zone to use the "arrival time" feature.

One more question to people with nav:

If you change timezone in settings on the navi screen, doest it influence the time that is showed on the clock (near the hazard button) and vice versa?

No that clock is separate from the navi.

Are you 100% sure about that? Whan you change hour on the clock, may be the timezone on the screen also changes?

When you are in guidance, if you touch the block with the arrival time, a menu will fly out, and, instead of arrival time, you could select remaining time to destination. It won't fix your problem, but you won't see the incorrect time.

Nav is separate from the dash clock--100%.

Agreed --unfortunately. If it was linked, there would be no need for time setting buttons on the clock, since the GPS signal includes an accurate time source.
