If you are using RoverLog and connect your GPS to your laptop, RoverLog
can/will update your PC's clock to the GPS time. Pretty handy!

Not when roving... the computer can be synced prior to leaving the
house, but if it's got an inaccurate clock, unless you have some sort
of commercial mobile cellular data service, it won't be able to synch
again until you get back.
Also many multi-op stations are set up "in the field" where there's no
Internet connectivity also.
But... most computers can easily keep time within two minutes over the
course of a two day contest... unless you're using some old machine
that has a dead BIOS battery and power it off, or similar... as long
as they were synced before leaving home...
