[Xastir] GPS Rollover Event, April 6th 2019

[Curt Mills]

This event is happening April 6th. Check your GPS receivers to see if they
are operable after this date.

Now is a good time to check for newer GPS firmware with the manufacturer.

An article describing it:

A statement from Garmin about the rollover event:

Here's a web page on what to do if your GPS receiver messes up. I believe
this was written in 1999 around the time of the FIRST gps week rollover
event and gives hope that even those GPS receivers that mess up can be made
whole again: http://gpsinformation.net/main/eowgarmin.htm
Be sure to read the entire page. In particular the master clear may mess
you up (listed in the bottom section), so skip that part. The top section
looks safe. Looks to be newest text at the top, oldest at the bottom.
