Good point regarding robustness. Perhaps parameters in the preinit.d script or a section in config.ini could be used for English/Metric, rubberband on/off and things that don't change for an individual user. Resuming the same route after a gas stop (power cycle) and retaining some of the recent track data could be helpful, however. I know this is a tradeoff!

No help on the local time offset in the Empeg. I do now realize that it has a thorough database of timezones and DST rules but that is no help here. I haven't used the text display enough to see this yet. I tend to focus on the map graphic. In the traffic we have around here the time predictions are not very meaningful
