 Garmin Geko 201  reportedly has dates displayed and recorded in tracks are
off by decades.
See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/03/10/garmin_dates/

Surprised I don't see this on either list yet ... forward to any
GPS-relevant lists that don't have it yet.

It is Unclear if it has run off the end of its Y2K fix or has hit some
similar glitch; they say random number of decades off per restart, which
doesn't fit the Y2K paradigm or the Y2K windowing patch either, so YMMV.
Supposedly they're working on a firmware fix.
