The OP doesn’t state where he got the « quote » from, but IMHO it is wrong. As I understand it. The GPS epoch started at 0h 1st June 1980 and the week number roles at 1024 week intervals at 0h GPS time. When a leap second is added its as if the clock stops for a second so GPS time will be in

Just curious - WNRO is not an issue for me even if my GPS receivers are affected - but I note that the time of rollover is being quoted as 23:59:59 UTC 6th April. Wouldn't the time actually be 18 seconds earlier ? - i.e., 23:59:42 - due to leap seconds ? BTW - I'm not clear about GPS time

I received the same invitation. And they states that the WNRO problem is an "external" problem.  I did it and now all the maps are signaled as invalid! Fortunately I was able to copy my  main map from a backup copy. Regards, Ignacio EB4APL El 04/04/2019 a las 12:29, Mike Cook escribió:

Hi, I just got a heads up fro TomTom, saying my Go Live 825 bought 2012 « may » have WNRO problems after the April 6 rollover and invited me to update the firmware. I wouldn’t think it would affect the navigation, but it might brick the device. Unfortunately I can’t test it as it went to

Hi If you want it to behave like a signal generator ( variable output level) that also is another rabbit hole to run down. Since the signals are well below the noise after full spreading (and not all that strong before spreading) it takes some care to get that right. On a production basis,

A multichannel, L1 GPS-only simulator/recorder costs about US5k. We have one of these that we used to test for rollover problems with some older receivers that we use (none found). The software with this lower cost device is not very sophisticated. As Bob hints though, a top of the line simulator

Hi Obviously the real answer is going to be “that depends”. Back when I worked for a living, we had an HP generator that would “play back” a recorded ~ 30 minute set of GPS “full sky” observations. It was strictly a playback with no real way to tweak this or that. We also had a single
