I don't use GPS & logging much, so I can't be of much help, but the first thing to pop into my head when the date is behind by one day but all time settings etc. are fine would be the leap year. I'd of thought that anyone writing software for GPS logger would think of the leap year, but I have seen software (including database software for a school and pre-made php driven websites) where the person who wrote it neglected to take into account the leap year.
