[QUOTE="Northwood Mediaworks, post: 81387, member: 6411"] Hey, to quote a paragraph in this article... ([URL='https://www.zdnet.com/article/some-gps-receivers-may-malfunction-on-or-after-april-6/']Some GPS receivers may malfunction on or after April 6 | ZDNet[/URL]) [I]While most modern GPS receivers shouldn't be affected by this (devices that conform to IS-GPS-200 and provides UTC will be fine), testing carried out by the US Department for Homeland Security (DHS) showed that there is a possibility that some will interpret this rollover as the date shifting back to January 6, 1980, or possibly some other incorrect date.[/I] So for Spark users this is likely a non event, but I have a few really old GPS units, it will be fun to see how they deal with April 6. I was part of a Y2K IT preparedness team back in the day, it was grueling, due-diligence and all that... so we were quite relieved when the sky did not fall... but it was a LOT of work. [/QUOTE]
