Thanks! I don't ever think I relied on the date in the unit. It is
going to get some use soon. I would have no idea what to replace it with.
Next I need to check out my Symmetricom / /Datum 9390/-/6000/ EXACTIME
next. The antenna has been off \for a while. It was updated some years
back to what was the latest and last version.

GPS 12 Time and Date are Incorrect
We’ve identified an issue with this product that causes the date
and/or time to be wrong after the GPS Rollover on April 6th,
2019. However, all functions not dependent on date and/or time will
continue to work normally. Due to the age of the device we have
determined we will not fix this issue.
*What does that mean for my Garmin**?*
* The date and/or time determined by the GPS will be wrong
* Position, velocity, navigation, and all other functionality not
dependent on date and/or time will continue to work normally
*What is GPS Week Rollover?*
The GPS satellite system communicates the date via a week number that
is limited to 1024 weeks (about 20 years). On April 6th, 2019 the week
numbers broadcast by the satellites will “rollover” to zero. If GPS
receivers don’t account for this rollover in their software, it will
calculate the wrong date and/or time.

Just checked my wonderful Garmin GPS12XL tonight. before midnight UTC
I checked navigation and UTC time and all was well. I did not bother
to check date for some reason. Well now April 6 2019 at 03:39:19 UTC
I see the time is 21 August 99 and no apparent way to change. The
navigation and time seem correct.
I heard there was a way to reset these to current date. Any thoughts?
Can I still use this as a tool for gathering waypoints with precision?
