GPS rollover - when is it? Convert utc to local time.

When is the GPS rollover? It is not at midnight everywhere. It is at midnight utc time.

This site will convert the time from your computer (so make sure your computer is accurate for your local time) to utc time & vice versa.

Nice Sally, thanks! So it's 3:15 pm here CST -- the net is still up and I still have power...so far so good. I'm more concerned about how my nephew's ship is faring out on the ocean (works for oil exploration co.-- he just did their GPS update last trip out in June). Will let you know if I hear anything from his wife...she's in contact with him via fax/email daily.

00:00 UTC = 5pm PDT, 7pm CDT, and 8pm EDT
