Pity that not a lot of people are commenting, I don't see a lot of vicious code beggars here, because that seams to be the a growing crowd among the Arduino and Co. community. Stupid Copy and Paste Culture, that do not care to learn from this lesson. Your tutorials are gold, I love the logic behind it! Great Work, keep it up.
I have had an Arduino internal clock, Nextion RTC and an I2C RTC running for over a year. So far the Arduino is 11 hours and 11 minutes behind current time. The Nextion internal clock is 8 minutes ahead of current time and the I2C RTC is 2 minutes behind current time. These results are very anecdotal with only one sample of each but they are interesting. @Blondie SL - I would be interested in knowing if your Nextion RTC is running faster or slower than real time. I thought it strange that my Nextion runs faster. It would be a good clock for a Bar:-) I plan on an update video at the 2 year point, as long as I don't lose power to the Arduino. I have it connected to a UPS. It has survived through a move to a new house under construction. It is amazing that I have not lost power connection yet. IT has become a challenge. My wife, who has no use for this Nextion stuff, is even on board with how long can we keep this thing going.

Thank you for the kind words.
How best to handle displaying latitude and longitude? As text, or a formatted float?
I have always used text if possible.
thanks
You're welcome!
easier to use the built-in Nextion clock and send to arduino than to mirror the worse clock in arduino
The nextion clock is proven to be pretty terrible in another video.
@@BlondieHappyGuy it's the past, I use 7 " enhanced and the clock is great, the battery has spent a year and is really punctual, for home use
@@Etacovda63 I don't think so ... check it, don't believe someone
