Incorrect Time Of Day

My  Magellan 1470 seems to lose track of the current TIME sometimes.  Last trip, it suddenly became about 6 hours ahead, and the ETA was wrong by about the same amount.  After a while (1-2 hours) it suddenly jumped back to the correct time.  Right now, it's about 12 hours ahead, or maybe behind.  This shows up in the ETA as well as in the system time as shown on the "Select Time Zone" screen -- the time zone setting, by the way, is correct. It seems to give me directions OK, but I'd sure like to know when to expect to get there.  What can be done?
