so the best I can tell, one is to turn it on, see if you have accurate location and then check to date to see it is working? Is that accurate?

None affected. You may want to turn them on and leave them run for 15 min or more to fully reset the almanac.
I have a CPE of 10 ft on 3 different units, after about 10 minutes.

just a thought... I may try to see if there is a software update before just trying to use it. computer thingys seem to work better if you update before use if there is a problem.

I work in precision Ag, this had the potential to be a disaster but luckily a lot of the major players were ready. A few systems needed firmware updates but overall it was pretty smooth. Could have a been a disaster here in the Midwest as planting/spraying is the most GPS intense time if the year.

tested my 62s no problems. Thanks adam for posting, my gps is something I use 6 times a year and don't really look at it until I am out on the trail. would have hated to get out somewhere and not have it work. I usually have back up maps, but still.

I had forgotten all about this, but my 66st didn't miss a beat on our Apr 8-10 North Shore travels, so I'll assume all is well. I see that the waypoints and tracks created on that trip all have correct dates, anyway. Checking it just now, it took less than a minute for it to lock onto 13 satellites and give a GPS+GLONASS accuracy of 9 feet. Is this an improvement over last month? Not sure.

i do not know whether it might affect an inReach device, but my older Delorme inReach Explorer is working just fine."
That’s what I have also. Thanks!"
Thanks for posting that’s what I have too.
