I had the same experience about the improvements as you did and I can't explain it, but I really don't see how the patch could have helped it.

Now, you are of course free to do as you like, but I'd really wish you'd install the original 1.0-25 -- otherwise you can't update software on your tablet. I'd love to offer a version that didn't break like this and that was identifiable from the original, but Nokia has not made that possible.
Well.. my tablet is in dire need of a reflash soon anyway..
I don't pretend to understand all the stuff from this thread about version numbers .. etc..
but from what I read.. it may be that the package that you "patched" may be different source code than what was actually installed on the tablets.. even though the version numbers match..

that being the case.. if you compile a "version" from the source code that you used for the patch.. that gpsd driver should work .. just without the leapyear patch..

really.. this is OBVIOUS to anyone that for one reason or the other your gpsd drive build is MUCH better than the one that Nokia installed on the 810s.... call it a bug.. or not.. this driver works better... they should imediately relase an updated GPSD and fix everyones 810!!!!

again... thanks for gps-clockd... another obvious feature that they should include in the OS

for now I'm going to leave your patched version on there for a while..
