Oh, well! > If you look at the new signals (L1C, L2C, L5), they have 13-bit Week Number (WN) compared to the old 10-bit numbers. Adding the bits to the traditional signal structure would be possible, but would not help if you have not upgraded to include them. Also, the 8192 week cycle would also loop eventually, and it would still be a multiple of 1024 weeks off in that case. However, that's almost 157 years up in 2136/2137 shift. We know that it's too soon for software folks to fix their code.
