A good friend of mine had a Captivate (he got his opening day) and returned it because of the GPS issue and other issues. He went back to using his old and waiting out a fix. He told me that he emailed Samsung tech support and asked them about the issue and if it was still on track to be released this month. He also asked them about the future of the Captivate as far as OS updates and such. Here is the reply. Yes this really isn't a "groundbreaking development" or anything. Just something I found interesting.
 
Dear ----------,
Thank you for taking the time to inform us of the many issues concerning your Samsung product.
We are unable to speculate when/if a software revision with this feature might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion.
Thank you again for your comments. We hope that you will give us another opportunity to serve you.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

I just wonder what they have to gain from silence?
