The Air Force is doing something on Saturday that could confuse your GPS.
On or around April 6th 2019, will your handy-dandy global positioning system (GPS) device be working properly?
Every 10 years, the clocks on those GPS have to be reset and it could confuse some older GPS systems, affecting ships, airplanes and other older systems.
The Air Force put out a press release on more information about the rollover.
Here’s the deal: if your GPS begins to go a little haywire around this time, you may be experiencing what’s called “GPS Week Rollover Event.”
The issue may remind us how much the world relies on GPS.
But, with the GPS rollover event, you may want to stash a few in your car. It’s the GPS version of a mini-Y2K.
