GPS Rollover event occurred in April 2019. GPS Rollover events occur every 20 years due to the date and time scale used by the Global Positioning System (GPS), which is based on counting weeks and seconds within a week. When the counter reaches 1024 weeks, it rolls back to week zero.

If GPS products are designed without considering this, problems can occur including incorrect date and time values and/or the loss of position information.
