Default GPS Week Number Rollover

I have a stand alone Tom Tom Satnav which I use mainly when abroad in hire cars, though more frequently these days even the most basic of hire cars has in built SatNav, and of course good old Google Maps is always available too. I have had to upgrade the firmware on the TomTom to cope with this rollover thing. Does anyone know if our very old, but reliable, RNS-D SatNav will cope with this. Did try to Google it but most of what came back was way too tech speak for a simple country boy like me. Guess I also need to know if the MMI in the RS6 will be OK too I suppose.

TIA

ETA Simplistic Definition of what it is from TomTom..

"The GPS Week Number Rollover (WNRO) occurs every 19 years, with the next roll over taking place on 6 April 2019. Similar to odometers in older cars rolling over from 99,999 km to 0, the GPS WNRO is the resetting of the GPS calendar back to 0.
When the calendar resets, it can cause a miscommunication between GPS satellites and GPS receiver chips. As a result, some chips in satnavs will lose the ability to process certain functions. "
