I am on your side through this, but have to comment that someone does not run aground because their GPS didn't work. The GPS is not what is driving the boat. It is the drivers responsibility to maintain a safe course, proper lookout, etc. I didn't do the research on this to know exactly what happened, but at the end of the day if the visibility is too bad to proceed safely you should not go anywhere, especially fast enough to launch a boat like that.
