Just downloaded a couple of flights I did yesterday that were recorded on our club's old Cambridge box. Yesterday's flights were flown on 4/14/19, eight days after the recent rollover. The date in the files is 8/29/99, eight days after the 1999 rollover.

The time of day looks right.

I had 4 Model 20s updated to fix the dead internal GPS battery a couple of months ago. All handled this latest roll-over properly. Same result for the Model 20s I have that have not yet had the internal GPS battery fail and have functioned and had the correct date since initial purchase.
