[BitPim-devel] GPSDATE

[Stephen Wood]

Does anyone mind if I move GPSDATE from prototypeslg to prototypes? It
seems to do the right thing for Sanyo phones.

Why is it called GPS date? Does the GPS system use the same date, Jan 6,
1980 as a start?

Yes. But it counts weeks since then and had a rollover in 1999.
