Now, it's hopefully true that devices with firmware written after 2010 or so will be okay.

But how many cars are out there with vehicular GPS units with firmware older than that???

My 2006 Acura does. Runs like a charm.

Hopefully my 2012 Lincoln Navigator will not be affected, because if it is the irony would be too much to handle...

I hope my 57 Bel Air isn’t affected. Up til now, it seems to take me right where I want to go.

Gee, cars built before 2010 may not be up-to-date. Drivers who depend on their GPS to know where they are and who may think they’re in Washington, D.C., but actually may be drowning in the Gulf of Mexico.

Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, I’m talking to you. . . HELLO?
