6/13/2023 0 Comments Furuno software updatesIf you happened to spot any errors on the equipment listed below, we would like you to take the following countermeasures to resolve the problem. “It is regretful to announce that there is a possibility that some of our GPS products (please see the list below) may face GPS errors after the 17th of March 2019, due to the problem of GPS week number rollover. The Furuno notice is repeated below but ships with other systems should be taking action to avoid similar problems by contacting the manufacturers of equipment and systems on board. This may in turn affect systems that have an integral GPS or take a feed from an affected GPS system. The problem relates to the fact that some models of GPS will automatically reset the time function after 1024 weeks operation and report wrong time against position. A software issue with many models of GPS across manufacturers is expected to occur in week commencing 6 April this year but Furuno has issued a notice saying that some of its models may be affected even earlier.
