Possible OLD GPS Errors, April, 2019
Posted: March 24th, 2019, 12:19 pm
This might be old news, but not seeing any discussion here, it may be worth posting.
If you have a REALLY old GPS (say year 2000 or earlier), there can be major problems with time keeping as of April 6, 2019.
For the somewhat snarky general explanation, see:

For the official, somewhat technical, US Naval Observatory explanation, see:

Cheers and great hiking!
