In previous versions of Kstars it was possible to enter UTC offset in EKOS when using a gps (gpsd driver), that is not possible anymore (version 3.3.4 & 3.3.6).
Is there any other way to adjust the offset? It doesn’t make sense to use a gps if it’s not possible.
That is strange, this is a screen dump of my Pi4 running Kstars 3.3.6, the offset is inherited from an older version (the one included in the first RPi 4 Stellarmate release) where it was possible to adjust the offset:
Have I been dreaming? I know you know better, but I'm 99,9% sure that I've adjusted the offset by entering the number in the UI, but I can see from your Youtube tutorials Jasem, that I'm rather 100% wrong
The offset is adjusted automatically based on the location?
Yes, I have never had to adjust that on mine...once it gets the 3Dfix, it should update all the figures from the location, there was an issue with it about 18 months ago where it was putting in the wrong offset, as I had the issue and mine was 12 hours out...but that was a while ago now... don’t think it’s a regression, as not seen it since it was fixed..
Have you got a different USB dongle to try to eliminate that ..?
I have just done a complete fresh install on my laptop, and plugged my GPS in and it’s worked straight away, showing a 1 offset...which is correct, so not sure why yours has not worked..
