Hi,
I've just built my ladyada GPS shield v1.1 but I have a question about the memory card holder, should the top 2 pins be connected/soldered together?
They are that close together that the solder has joined them, I can't see how it wouldn't.
Thanks in advance.

The last 3 narrow-spaced pins do not have to soldered at all. I believe that's explicitly stated in the assembly instructions.
Next, solder the 7 large leftmost pins of the holder to the corresponding pads. Use a sparing amount of solder so that you wont end up bridging two pins by accident. If you aren't skilled at SMT soldering, you can simply skip the three smaller pins, they're not at all necessary

they are used to detect if a card is inserted. its not really used so no big deal, just move on
