Warranty after fix for GTA02 GPS rework for SD card interference issue

My experience has proven that this is not the case; yes the fix  
happens sooner, but if SD I/O occurs during tracking phase, wild  
errors are still introduced into the GPS signal sufficient to drive us  
off the map.

Just sayin', not trying to stir the pot.  I've been testing this GPS  
fix every day since it arrived, by tracking my progress to work, and  
if I zoom too closely (meaning there is more SD I/O on map refreshes)  
the GPS goes wild.

My ride to and from work is through a wide open space with no  
obstructions, lots of blue sky, and for sure .. SD I/O still massively  
impacts GPS *accuracy*.  Not just in the acquisition phase, but also  
tracking ..
