Post by Phillip Coetser »

Hi all, so the 6th April 2019 came, and went past us.The doomsday prophets that predicted that Gps's might stop working after the 6th April, did not happen. So far, it doesn't affect my unit. Everything is working the way it is supposed to,on my Nuvi 3597.

Response From Garmin
I received the following response from Garmin concerning the 2019 rollover:

"Hello
No, it does not look like there will be any problem with the Garmin devices with the 1024 week rollover in 2019.
Thank you for choosing Garmin,
