Got the update in Central Oregon about an hour ago. All went smooth. 3G signal stays at full bars and doesn't move now (used to flux between 2-3 and cell tower is 300 ft out my back door). GPS is locked spot on within 10 sec, was 2-3 min at best. Accurate to within 8 feet per GPS test. Soft keys stay lit as long as screen is active, very nice. A few of the annoyances fixed and will keep me happy until 2.2 drops.

Just did the update, my GPS still sucks! Seriously Samsung And vzw?

We've seen reports in other forums that following this latest update the GPS improves with more and more use, a few reboots, etc.

Let's see how that pans out over time.

It might also be interesting to note any similarities in GPS behavior from region to region.
