On April 6th of this year the GPS week will roll over and on some older instruments it could mess up the date. How many of our soaring instruments might have this problem?

I'm guessing that will be the final end of my 1994 Cambridge Model 10. (It's already had the battery replaced, of course)


I've got a 1996 era Garmin backpacker gps still holding the correct
date. Internal battery was replaced under warranty about 22 years ago.

I'd be surprised if it suddenly got the wrong date on April 6, but
really doesn't matter anyway. Lots of old Volksloggers got hit with the
date problem, maybe they'd be more subject to failure if any of them are
still in use.
