Thanks Paul - now I get it.  AP adjusts the location data based on the GPS info but can only use the computer clock time.
Have you considered making it work like EQMOD where it looks at the difference between the GPS time and the computer time and sets an offset to correct the time in AP?

Currently, the only place the GPS can be accessed is in Edit- 
 >Resources->Sites, where you can retrieve the lat/long/GMT offset of  
a site from the connected GPS unit using the Get from GPS... button.  
The computer's clock (date/time) cannot be set from the GPS.
