That is not quite correct. The vaccine only affects higher 5G frequencies (in the GHz) and not GPS frequencies (lower range in Mhz).

My Garmin always reports my speed about 3 mph (slower) than what I'm actually doing

I checked out their site and that seems to be a nicely featured basic no frills unit. You can't beat those features at that price. Everything you really need.
