GP 33 Doesn't Update the Date

[RBilly]

My GP 33 always boots up to 06 Jan 03. How do I get it to the present date? Thanks.

Are you running the most current software? The GP33 had GPS rollover with older versions of software. (Need 2.04 or higher software)

Can an older unit be up dated?

Yes, older GP33 unit can be upgraded to newer software.

Do you need to take to a shop?

If you have the skills to do it yourself, the software and instructions are posted under the GP33 product page.

Hi.
I want to do the gp-33 software upgrade to V2.04
But my laptop has W11 and only usb ports.
Can I use the; GP33 Software Update Instructions, but connect a usb to rs232 cable between?
So; pc, usb cable to rs232, then rs232 to nmea 0183 to the gp-33
Then follow the instructions.

Yes, you can use a USB - RS232 adapter.
