That's good to hear, I'm glad it's working well TWO YEARS after it was released. Were you an early adopter? If so, you don't remember all those GPS problems everyone blogged about in the begining? I can give you the compass. I'd have to verify, but more than likely, there's not really a compass in the Captivate. It's an amalgum of GPS positions that give you a "heading". Which would make sense - if the GPS is slow to lock, the "compass" would be slow to give you a heading.
I wasn't the original owner, but I've owned it for about 18 months. I'm on ATT. I had to unlock a T-Mobile G1. (No 3g for me). It had a stock 1.5 install. All I know is that the first time I used any GPS software I was amazed at how much better it was than my Tilt.
Lock speed has never been my problem, it's the speed and accuracy that I have an issue with. Yesterday, I was driving and running MyTracks. When I got home, the phone was drawing the track about a mile behind where I was. It eventually caught up. When I stop at a light, it takes 30 seconds for my speed to register 0. These are just not things that should be wrong in the Top of the Line phone.
