GPS Rollover Complete
The rollover occurred on August 22. There were no major disasters reported, but at least two hand held units are no longer functioning properly. NOW is a good time to check your GPS unit before you need to rely on it. Please let Mark DeVoe know if you find your GPS is no longer operating properly.
