GPS "reset" scheduled for Saturday

[Mr. White]

The San Antonio Express-News had an article that the GPS system will be "reset" Saturday. It said older GPS units could be affected. There is probably more information on Google but I have not searched it.

I put my information into the Tom Tom web site and it says mine is good and will not be affected on April 6.

Garmin's statement on the Week Number Rollover. Most likely won't affect more recent devices, especially if they have been updated regularly.

Just read the Garmin's statement. Went ahead and checked for any last minute updates -- None -- So I guess I'm good to go.

Thanks for the post.
Garmin in the car and TomTom on the Spyder.
I need to check for upgrades when I get home tonight.
