## Discrepancy

(CAN) INBOUND FOR LANDING, THE NR 2 GPS SCREEN WAS SEEN TEMPORARILY GOING BLANK THAN COMING BACK ON.  WITHIN A FEW SECONDS BOTH CREW MEMBERS NOTED AN ODD ODOR IN THE COCKPIT. THE NR 2 GPS WAS TURNED OFF AND THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WERE PULLED. THE ODOR DISSIPATED. THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  THE SMELL WAS AN ACID ODOR.  THE NR 2 GPS WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING.  THE UNIT WAS REPLACED AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
