GPS Week Number Rollover- GPS not working well

Srdrake — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 19:45:10 GMT

Goodnight
I write as a last option, I have a z1, which I use basically for navigation connected by mirrorlink with my car and for strava-type applications, on November 3 the GPS Week Number Rollover occurred, which I thought would not affect this model, but since then it takes a long time to locate position and when it does, which is not always, the GPS date is March of the year 2000, I do not understand how it has affected this device when it was something known since 2010, in all the news it is spoken that it is necessary to update the manufacturer .. but this does not exist or I can not find it, please to continue using it with the car, such update is necessary or the GPS does not work well, is there anything that can be done?

Hi!

Same here with my Z1 compact, the GPS date is of by 19 years. This is a problem for me, because app like Strava that are relying on GPS date to function are now unusable. My device is still able to get a fix and navigate quickly, but the date is of and then the tracked data cannot be saved.

I hope that some in the support will notice this problem

I doubt that the support bothers to read this and less to give a solution. I think that I will not buy a sony product again, because the failure it presents should not be presented as it was known years before going to market

About strava .. you will have to upload it with the date of 200 * whatever .. access the activity through the web .. download the gpx .. modify the date in the gpx and upload the activity from the archive .. If there is another faster way to do it I don't know

Sony gives no solution to a problem that was already known when they sold the product.

In my case I can't use it to navigate
