Update!
After some emails to and from Garmin, my 'time travelling' i3 had to go back for repair. When it returned, the job sheet said 'software crash' and they sent me a replacement unit which look ... |

The date is in the 'Shutdown' area of the Diagnostics menu. This is where it holds the crash logs when it goes wrong. My date shows 12 Jan 2026.

Does anyone know how to restore the i3 to its out-of-the-box settings?
I've got problems with the automatic daylight savings and the odd hours the i3 chooses to switch between day and night mode. T ... |
