# Device timezone

The **Device timezone** block allows you to adjust the timezone settings for specific device models. A GPS device's timezone offset determines how the timestamps in the messages reported to the Navixy platform are interpreted. If the timezone offset is incorrect, it can lead to inaccurate tracking data, as the timestamps don't align correctly with the actual time of events.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Navixy strongly recommends keeping the device set to UTC+0h as the standard timezone setting to ensure consistency and accuracy in tracking data. However, if your device is configured with a different timezone, this block allows you to make the necessary adjustments.
{% endhint %}

## When to use

Only change the timezone if you are certain that the current setting is incorrect. Misalignment of the timezone can lead to errors in the displayed data, making it difficult to monitor the device accurately on the platform.

## How to adjust the device timezone

1. **Access the block:** Navigate to the **Devices and settings** section and select the device you wish to adjust.
2. **Change the timezone:** Use the **Device timezone** block to select the appropriate timezone based on the device's current configuration.
3. **Save changes:** After making the adjustment, save the settings to apply the new timezone.

## Availability

Appears on specific device models that support a configurable time-zone offset.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/devices-and-settings/object-management/device-timezone.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
