Hello Every body
i have buy a SKYLAB SKM53 module
and i use this steps to get the latitude and longitude
and i get this resutls
and my connection wires is
Lt: 0.0000000
Ln: 0.0000000
Vcc to 5v of arduino uno
GND to GND in the arduino uno
RXD to pin 3
TX to pin 2
can someone guide me please

have you tried this OUTSIDE?
His workshop is in the basement....

RX and fail increasing
i don't know where is the mistake please guide me
Any suggestion please?
You didn't answer the question spycatcher2k asked.
Your receiver does have a clear view of the sky doesn't it?
Oh Sorry i wasn't try this outside i will try it now and tell you the results
i tried it outside and it's the same result !!!
can any one help me?

spycatcher2k:
Change the ss.begin(4800); to ss.begin(9600); - see if this help.
it doesn't Work is that mean the module is Doesn't work/?
