Anyone notice GPS Rollover Problem?

[Bill (Smithville NJ)]

April 6 has come and gone with only minor GPS data rollover problems - at least on the newer units.

Just for curiosity, I powered up my MIO C310 handheld GPS. This is a nice little unit that I purchased back in 2000. Haven't used it for a few years since the latest car had a GPS built-in and the cell phones work so well for navigating.

After a few minutes, it acquired enough satellites to display what it thinks is the date. I was expecting it to be 1999.

But was really surprised when it showed January 1, 1601.

Did anyone here get similar errors on their old GPS units?
