Device starting to send weird position info

Hello --

I have one single device suddenly coming up with weird positioning info - this is the log:

It seems to be sending correct positioning data (the 49/6 latitudes with the correct date) and then immediately after it sends (or Traccar receives) a bogus position with a timestamp far into the future.

When I get an SMS of the device, the position is always correct.

I've reset the device and reconfigured it, but that didn't change anything. Not touched Traccar, apart from restarting it, since this happened.

What should I be looking for?

This problem has been discussed countless number of times. If you are interested in details search forum, but what you need to do now is configure future time filtering and re-create device.

Thanks for the hint, Anton - that fixed it. Seems like my google fu was not good, I did not find this issue.
