Try it on April 7th, and if it doesn't work see if Garmin is offering a 
firmware update for it.  You'd probably need a computer connection cable to put 
an update on it, which may cost more than the unit...

This is a classic "own goal" thing, they (the system designers, not Garmin) set 
up the system with a small date range and created another version of the Y2K 
problem.

I just read an article that GPS time will be reset on April 6, 2019.  That may 
affect older GPS units.

I must admit ignorance on the substance of this atricle and what it means.  
Anybody got a decent understanding of this situation?

I have an old Garmin 128, circa 1999, which I use as a back up to my newer 
Garmin.  I'd hate to lose accuracy on the older unit.
