As NW8L pointed out, there are simple updates to restore proper date displays
in GPS receivers.
An update should have a release date inside the build with the associated GPS
week number when it was released. With a little coding, this will allow the
receiver to display date properly for 1024
There is a warning on the TomTom site - and today I received an email from
them regarding an older Garmin Etrex unit I own. It said in brief:

Not to worry Richard. GPS has two PR codes on different frequencies.
The "civilian" code repeats every 100 ms. The "military" code repeats
every 7 days, and the code is sometimes encrypted. At the end of the
