Poll: Does your GPS work on Galaxy S 4G/Vibrant 4G

Hello everyone who owns Galaxy S 4G / Vibrant 4G. As a Vibrant owner, I would like to know (and I am sure many others as well) whether GPS works perfectly on Galaxy S 4G ? If it does, then please post screenshots from GPS test app if possible.

Also, please answer the poll and leave any comments regarding drifting/accuracy etc.
Because if it works perfectly, then it's safe to assume the issue with Vibrant's GPS is a hardware issue ( specially now that we have 2.2.1 ported for vibrant)

Looks like I was the first one to vote. Tried several readings yesterday and one this morning. All very accurate and this mornings was more accurate than my Garmin for some reason.

the GPS on the SGS4G works as it should... I get 5 second cold start locks and <5m accuracy with no drifting. i drove around with it on and it had no issues on parallel streets that are very close to each other or anything like that.

it works better than my tomtom. so I am a happy camper with the GPS.

I used Root Explorer to pull out Telenav and while my Google Maps is still locking my location inside and outside, News and Weather no longer finds my location. I am really hoping Samsung wasn't trying to use Telenav to backbone it's GPS service.

If anyone else is having this problem let me know.

odd... I didnt remove Telenav so I couldn't tell you.

It took me a while to get a lock straight out of the box, but I assume that it might have just been a fluke since I'm trying it inside. it functioned after I ran telenav x.x

The GPS does not work on either my Vibrant or my 4G at all. By the way yes, I have used a GPS unit before, I have owned several Garmin Nuvi (350, 1490) and currently have a 3790t.
