I agree it is an important factor for pointing accuracy and may be one of the reasons I have never been happy with Meade's pointing accuracy.

I don't think the GPS has anything to do with pointing accuracy. All it does is tell Autostar where on the planet it is, the date and time, so it can slew to the approximate position of the first alignment star. Then closer still to the second alignment star. Centering the alignment stars (say in a 9mm reticle ep) is the determining factor in pointing accuracy, along with other mechanical considerations, not the GPS.

I could be wrong
