crazy gps?

We have a new Celestron CPC 11 here at Natural Bridges National Monument in SE Utah. I have been having trouble with pointing issues. I just upgraded the HC and Motor control software to the latest version. Last night when I rolled it out, the GPS showed me the wrong time by one hour but also the wrong date by one day. I suspect the one hour time issue relates to resetting the time zone, but I have not had any luck changing that yet. I have no clue why the GPS would be one day off. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? If I can't figure this out I will call tech support next week, but I would like to get it up and running before then.

Thanks,

Make sure you reset the time-zone. But the bottom line is this will only affect how close you come to _alignment stars_ and go-tos to the Moon and planets. Basic pointing to deep sky objects and stars will not be affected.
