Thanks for all of your insights/suggestions. Nice to know I wasn't the only one able to drive over bodies of water - I know the car is fast but - geez!
I have scheduled an appointment w/ my dealer to look at the GPS issue. Given it is only sporadic and not easily reproducible, I hope this is enough of an issue to warrant a software update. Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks again!
