Does the use of GPS have implications for Oyster and flat fares?

I don't think so. We had the technical capacity to have non-flat fares
before GPS, and indeed did so. The flares were flattened as an act of
policy, not practical exigency. I suppose with GPS they could introduce
some truly fiendish true-distance-based fare system, but i can't see why
they would.
