I noticed that my BMW GSA instrument panel date was off but the time was still correct. I reset the date in set up and after restarting the bike it would reset to the March 24 2000 date. I eventually realized the GPS Nav V was the problem. Contacted Garmin and this is what they have to say. Just a heads up if others are experiencing the same problem.
Feedback from Garmin
Thank you for contacting Product Support.
We�ve identified an issue with this product that causes the date and/or time to be wrong after the GPS Rollover on November 3rd, 2019. However, all functions not dependent on date and/or time will continue to work normally.
For the BMW Motorrad NAV IV - update the device software by following the steps in Updating Automotive Maps and Software with Garmin Express to correct the issue.
For the BMW Motorrad NAV V - We are currently working on a software update that will address this issue.
What does that mean for my Garmin?
The date and/or time determined by the GPS will be wrong
Position, velocity, navigation, and all other functionality not dependent on date and/or time will continue to work normally
What is GPS Week Rollover?
The GPS satellite system communicates the date via a week number that is limited to 1024 weeks (about 20 years). On November 3rd, 2019 the week numbers broadcast by the satellites will �rollover� to zero. If GPS receivers don�t account for this rollover in their software, it will calculate the wrong date and/or time.
