Yes you can turn GPS off in the SX230.

I read some reviews, but none of them mentioned these problems. Maybe we got lemons.

As the SX230 is more than 10 years old, the battery that came with it certainly is not performing well. A little more juice would help. I think that I can disable the GPS. I hope it helps...

Those are brilliant results! all for 40 clams!

Any advice on something with range of 25-600mm that is in similar price range with decent AF?

Well, I think it may be a little hard to find what you looking for, you may have to spend more $$$, but definitely not impossible, as I said I had the SX260 x20 zoom( 25-500mm.equivakent) the lens was a big compromise, may be, I got a lemon, but my later findings confirmed that the SX220/230 overall, is a better camera, as x14 zoom (28-390mm.)is enough for me to carry in my pocket;)...
