After the stellar performance in the ICE I wanted to demonstrate that to Stefan during our train ride to Nürnberg today, but I haven't got anything from the GPS yet other than empty NMEA sentences: $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53 $GPVTG,,,,,,,,,N*30 $GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,99.99,,,,,,*48 $GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,99.99,99.99,99.99*30 $GPGSV,1,1,00*79 $GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64 $GPZDA,,,,,00,00*48 And by now the Neo had a couple of hours to get anything from GPS. Since the serial output stops completely when I echo 0 to the pwron device node I don't think it's a power issue. I don't know what I did the first time to get GPS working. Usually even with bad reception it should at least get the time. Okay, I just took out the battery while the Neo was on (this is a GTA02A4 btw) and tried to push the GPS connector a little and it got time and date almost immediately. It's still trying to get a fix, but I'm now a couple hundred kilometers from where it would expect. I don't know if the connector to for the internal GPS antenna was just loosely connected on production or if it could indeed come loose during day-to-day use, but we should look into that either way.
