Not surprised, there is really no need to. Your GPSr doesn't care what time it is in human terms... I would be more surprised if they acutally didupdate GPS satellites with leap second fixes.

Actually that is one of the jobs of the US Naval Observatory. They constantly update the GPS satelights time and position information. If you have a hand held gps receiver you have an atomic accuracy clock in your hand. The USNO mission is to: 2 Provide astronomical and timing data required by the Navy and other components of the Department of Defense for navigation, precise positioning, and command, control, and communications. http://www.usno.navy.mil/mission.shtml If you have one clock you know the time but as soon as you have two clocks time becomes relative.
