Is anyone else having difficulity with date & time on their GPS ??

We carry three GPS units onboard, one Furnno and two larger Lowrance GPS chart plotters for navigation. Lately we been seeing a problem regarding all GPS units displaying the incorrect time and date, - although the unit settings seem to be correct, we are unable to correct the problem. Our position and charts seem to be functioning correctly. A call to Lowrance technical was fruitless but they said they were aware of the problem but no fix in sight.

As we are just starting our sailing season here in Southwest Florida (regrets to all who are shovelling snow) this issue gets to be one of importance as the tide tables in the GPS units are predicated on having the correct date. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this with their GPS units ??
Thanks,
Bill
