GPS fix problem, satellites available

[Viggomh]

Hi, 

We are using the GPS xample for the nRF9160. and are struggling a little with getting the GPS fix.

$GPGGA,001932.00,,,,,0,,99.99,,M,,M,,*6F
$GPGLL,,,,,001932.00,V,N*43
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,99.99,99.99,99.99,1*2D
$GPGSV,2,1,6,14,,,27,17,,,30,19,,,27,24,,,22,1*5F
$GPGSV,2,2,6,28,,,27,29,,,25,1*51
$GPRMC,001932.00,V,,,,,,,060180,,,N,V*01

SNR is arount 28 in average, 4-7 satellites.  But the modem is never able to get a fix, never starting to use any satellites.

I have seen some posts arount this forum mentioning the very same problem, some mentioning the modem firmware. 

Is that problem with the modem firmware real?  or is it just the antenna conditions that is tpreventing the fix?

Hello Viggo,

I interpret that as you do not have any issues pending on this on the Modem fimware regarding this. I am using version 1.3.0 at the moment. 

No, we currently do not have any known issues related to GPS performance with mfw 1.3.0.

Will continue to look into the antenna performance :-)

Please feel free to create a new case if you need more support :-)
