"GPS TO STOP WORKING BY 2020!"

It's not a case of should or shouldn't, just the option is there to use 
an apostrophe to denote plural for the purpose of making the text 
clearer to read. It's not normally needed for acronyms (more usually for 
letters or numbers), but it's incorrect to state that an apostrophe is 
never used for plurarls.
