Finally i have parsed the data and displayed time on the 16x2 Display. But i've issue regarding how to add +5.30 Time zone for india to current UTC time. any idea from friends here would help me to save my time...

Its not just simple to add 5hour to hour register and 30 minutes to min ones.. because when it would be 23 hours + 5 means it will show 28...and that's mess. so how to overcome this issue..

So you just handle the overflow from hours to days...

Top Tips:

  1. How to properly post source code - see: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment... - also how to properly include images/pictures
  2. "Garbage" characters on a serial terminal are (almost?) invariably due to wrong baud rate - see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-communication
  3. Wrong baud rate is usually due to not running at the speed you thought; check by blinking a LED to see if you get the speed you expected

One common method is to convert time to seconds add/subtract your offset then convert back to 'real' time. Its a common problem.

Does your compiler offer functions like localtime() and mktime() ?

I'll paraphrase resident 'freak David Prentice: Sit dow and do a few such additions on paper. Then think. Perhaps make a cup of tea. Then think again.

Then implement in a C function what you just did on paper.

It doesn't have it in the currently issued version but in the "next" version you should find the functions added. In the meantime you can "cherry pick" what you need from here:

If you need the full date/time arithmetic - complete with days, months, leap years, etc - then you should use the functions.

If you just want a correct roll-over of the hours, then that's just simple arithmetic...

Finally i have little success in converting simple arithmetic calculations.. as below

i have added +5.30 for Indian standard time

hour = nmea.getHour();
minute = nmea.getMinute();
hour = hour + 5;
minute = minute + 30; 
if(minute > 59)
{
minute = minute - 60;
hour = hour + 1;
} 
if(hour > 23)
{
hour = hour - 24;
}
