Tracking GPS but never get FIX

Hi, 

I wrote a code using gps_controller.c on my thingy:91. However, i could never get a GPS FIX so i decide to try the GPS sample but it doesn't work neither. 

I tried several places. Nevertheless, with the asset_tracker application I can get the location. 

Any idea of what is going on ?

    Yes, you can, however, you need to know that the GPS sample with SUPL is using the Google SUPL server is without any license or guarantee.

    So it just might happen that Google decides to turn it OFF tomorrow. I would not build a commercial IoT product that relies on it.

    It can be used as well, but the same is true for the nRF Connect for Cloud A-GPS service, as per their Terms of Services they can discontinue the service at any time.

    Please try do log off and log on Devzone and re-apply for the license.
