The root cause of GPS week number rollover is a well-known programming limitation in the early GPS satellite transmissions, and it’s happened twice so far - at midnight August 21, 1999, and again on April 6, 2019. Furuno announced a GPS week number rollover date affecting many older devices The date changes will undoubtedly mess up some boaters in the months ahead, so let’s make ourselves aware. Yes, the problem seems like the well-publicized April 1999 GPS week number rollover, except that it just happened a few weeks ago on the attached Airmar PB200, and lots of older gear from Furuno, JRC and probably other brands are experiencing a similarly delayed and under-publicized rollover in 2022. Octo.While I certainly knew that it was not Jwhen I took this photo last Saturday, the Sunrise/Sunset times shown above are also quite wrong, and it’s hard to tell what other calculations get screwed up when a networked device like this Maretron DSM starts receiving a system date that is 1,024 weeks old.

If these devices do not have these software updates before November 3, 2019, the devices will lose over-the-air software updates and iCloud Backup. iPhone 5 and iPad (4th generation) with cellular require software updates with at least iOS 10.3.4. iPhone 4s, iPad mini (1st generation) with cellular, iPad 2 with CDMA cellular or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular require software updates with at least iOS 9.3.6. Prior to return to normal standard time from daylight saving time during the morning of November 3, 2019, Apple issued a warning to owners of iPhone and iPad, which were sold before 2012, that these Apple products could lose internet. Other products that were affected by the rollover include cellphones that were sold in 2013 or earlier, Australian Bureau of Meteorology's weather balloons, NOAA's weather buoys, many scientific instruments, and consumer GPS navigation devices. Furthermore, the New York City Wireless Network (NYCWiN) crashed.
Products known to have been affected by the 2019 rollover include Honeywell's flight management and navigation software that caused delays for a KLM flight and cancellations for numerous flights in China because the technicians failed to patch the software. Effectsĭue to relatively limited commercial and consumer use of GPS during the 1999 rollover, disruption was minor. The United States Department of Homeland Security, the International Civil Aviation Organization, and others issued a warning about this event.
The second rollover occurred on the night of April 6 to April 7, 2019, when GPS Week 2047, represented as 1023 in the counter, advanced and rolled over to 0 within the counter. The first rollover took place midnight ( UTC) August 21 to August 22, 1999, when GPS Week 1023 advanced and rolled over to 0 within the counter. Time is used to accurately synchronize payment operations, broadcasters, and mobile operators. GPS is not only used for positioning, but also for accurate time. Software which is not coded to anticipate the rollover to zero may stop working or could be moved back in time by 20 or 40 years. After 1023 the internal value "rolls over", changing to zero again. The Global Positioning system broadcasts a date, including a weekly counter which is stored in only ten binary digits. The Global Positioning System (GPS) Week Number Rollover is a phenomenon that happens every 1024 weeks, which is 19.7 years.
