Open up the bird and see if your GPS shifted or came unglued. It may need to be repositioned.

If that's the case, once you do that, recalibrate and hopefully you should be good.
 
It is also possible the hard hit has damaged the GPS antenna itself. The antenna is ceramic and pretty fragile. Take a look and see if you have any fine cracks in the antenna.

If you have broken it there is a thread here that shows where to get a replacement without having to replace the entire GPS module.
