Arduino Uno and GPS NEO-7M-0-000 don't show GPS

I set up a GPS NEO-7M-0-000 board with a Arduino Uno and things worked bad if i set rx to rx and tx to tx he showed No GPS detected: check wiring. But if i set rx to tx and tx to rx he show nothing.
What type of problem could it be?
I just started working with this device and make all with instruction but it doesn't work.

My code:

#include <TinyGPS++.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
/*
   This sample sketch demonstrates the normal use of a TinyGPS++ (TinyGPSPlus) object.
   It requires the use of SoftwareSerial, and assumes that you have a
   9600-baud serial GPS device hooked up on pins 4(rx) and 3(tx).
*/
static const int RXPin = 4, TXPin = 3;
static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;

// The TinyGPS++ object
TinyGPSPlus gps;

// The serial connection to the GPS device
SoftwareSerial ss(RXPin, TXPin);

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  ss.begin(GPSBaud);

  • I see no data connection between the GPS and the Arduino. What does the white wire do ?
  • the posted code does not read from the ss interface. Did you forget to post some of the sketch ?

Are there two white wires?

Well done posting a photo of your setup. This can be very helpful.

Welcome.

You are correct. There are 2 white wires, probably connected to ;ins 3 and 4 on the Arduino

The GPS is indoors.

Take it outdoors.

Thank you, i try it.

Sorry, i changed photo for you. Now it tx to tx and rx to rx.

Thanks. The new photo is clearer

That is wrong
Connect Tx to RX and vice versa

Hi sailoks.

Is this the first time you have used a GPS board?

Hello, yes, I am using it for the first time and maybe I don't know something.

Haha. All of us "maybe don't know something". But you will learn how to use that GPS.

Does the LED on the GPS flash when you leave it powered for a few minutes ?

Here's a tip about wiring. It is good practice to use red for power(5V and VCC) and black for ground (GND). That helps to avoid short circuits that can destroy your components.

The data wires can be be any other colours but not red or black.

When I turn it on it flashes very fast and it doesn't stop.
