Hello. I have a problem getting a position via GPS. My dev board is placed in a good place, but can't get a position after more than 1 hour.
I am using you new SW version v1.0, and HW version 0.8.5 with firmware version 1.0.
The GPS example code works, sometimes I get a position after 1 hour.
Hi Miro,
From the GPS documentation:
From the GPS Tutorial:
"It can also be very practical to attach an external GPS antenna when doing development and test indoors. That allows you to put the GPS antenna near a window in order to see satellites."
Hello Martin. Yes i know it. I have a board on the window. On the same position different GPS module is work
Hello Martin. Yes i know it. I have a board on the window. On the same position different GPS module is work
Hi Miro,
Are you using the same GPS antenna which the other GPS module is using?
The GPS antenna on the nRF9160 DK may perform differently than the other GPS module.
I would highly recommend you to use an external antenna to improve the performance.
Hi Martin.
Yes, I'm use same Molex helix GNNS antena. With external antena I have same problem
Hello Martin.
- Yes, switch position is on the internal antenna, and i'm use internal antenna. I'm use same antenna with U-Blox ZOE GNSS module, without GPS amplifier, and all is works.
This is my console output

Hi Miro,
Please try to use the "Molex helix GNNS antenna" connected to the nRF9160DK and set the switch to the correct position.
(so not the internal antenna)
