hello everyone.. i manage to use the GPS in y project to show me the time from the satellites. when i use the GPS i could not get any information. i use this website Breakout Arduino Wiring | Adafruit Ultimate GPS | Adafruit Learning System
some friends suggested to use antenna. will it solve the problem??
thank you

If the GPS requires an antenna (and they all require some kind of antenna), and you don't have one, then adding one certainly won't make the problem worse.
Are you planning to write some code to act as the antenna? If not, why are you posting in the Programming section?
It can take as long as 15 minutes with a clear view of the sky to get a satellite lock, worst case. Did you just look for a minute on your workbench and give up?

Er no, in many cases you will never get a lock. This normally occurs if you are indoors or don't have a clear view of a large area of sky. Try using the GPS module outdoors or in front of a window.

The square device with the solder blob is the "patch" antenna for the device. But, as stated, it needs to see the satellites.
