The Y2K Bug and the GPS EOW Rollover

Y2K Bug

GPS Bug

The Y2K or Millennium bug will affect non-compliant computers, software and devices using microchips on January 1, 2000. The GPS (Global Positioning System) End of Week (EOW) rollover problem will affect non-compliant GPS receivers or other devices which use GPS satellites to calculate time in August 1999. This web site was designed to provide developing countries with access to some of the information resources, software and training they need to deal with these problems effectively. Grand River Informatics Inc.(GRI), which has developed this site, has made its best efforts to locate relevant information, but cannot take responsibility for the accuracy of that information-- anyone using this information does so at their own risk.
