Yeah, mine is great without doing the cold start trick, but with that, it could probably be better.
Leaving GPS enabled, on pretty much has zero affect on battery. It is a myth that it is a battery drain.Mine has worked perfectly sense day one without any work-a-rounds. I've use google maps and turn by turn every couple days with no issues. Its a huge battery drain but I just leave GPS off unless I want to use it, and when I do use it, it finds me within a couple of seconds (outside of course) and I'm good to go.
As has been noted all the Epics have the cache bug, but its appearance and affect on you is dependent on user habitsYeah, mine is great without doing the cold start trick, but with that, it could probably be better.

If you are going to have some persistent program that uses GPS polling every 15 minutes, like foursquare, than it will, but if you are using that why then turn off GPS?
Quite a number of us have tested GPS battery use, and when enabled but not used there is no use by GPS of battery.

I've used my epic for geocaching, and it gets me right where I want to go. Haven't used it for driving or anything, but so far my experience has been positive.
Yeah, my gps is off by almost a 100ft. at the very worst, but it is still pretty decent. However, my Evo's gps is completely dead accurate. All in all, I don't think there really is a fatal problem though.
