This would be interesting, as would the ability to set the computer time from a GPS connected to APCC.

I think that the problem is that you need admin rights to set the computer time.

We can get latitude and longitude from the mount, time is useful too. This is for people who run PCs that are not connected to a network but are connected to a mount that has been initialised with GPS accuracy.

If the mount and the PC have different times then problems like this https://ap-gto.groups.io/g/main/topic/80392492#76045 can occur. I have verified that the problem does not occur if the times are the same.
