GPS Problem with Arudino Due

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hello,
I´m using the Arduino Due Board with a Sparkfun Venus GPS Module (SparkFun Venus GPS Logger - SMA Connector - GPS-10920 - SparkFun Electronics) and a GPS antenna.

I´ve tried with the Tinygps libary but did not see any results. "chars" were recieved but no "sentence". I striped down my programm to test the GPS functions only. (Code is somewhere from the internet)

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial2.begin(9600);

  Serial.println( F("Echo test") ); 
}

void loop()
{
    while (Serial2.available())
      Serial.write( Serial2.read() );
}

First I did upload the sketch to my board and opened the serial monitor, "Echo test" would appear as wanted. Afterwards i would connect my GPS Module. I would expect to see raw GPS sentences in this NMEA Format or something. But I just get a Message, which I belive is some information on the GPS Module and afterwards I get hieroglyphs. Since I got the first message i guess my baudrate setting is correct. (Tried it on other settings, no results nor do I get this first Message)
The Module indicates a "fix" with a blinking LED. And those hieroglyphs change in style when the Module indicates a "fix" with the LED. Therefore I assume my GPS is actually working but somehow I dont get the right Information.

I attach two pictures, one of the first message + hieroglyphs prior to "fix" and the second one is after getting the "fix".

I hope someone might be able to help me here. I also went outside but the same kind of message kept comming in.

Thanks in advance.

But you are keeping the code and the message a secret. I'll keep the answer a secret, too then.

I attach two pictures

Where?

Me too, I was testiing my tracker programs on a DUE a couple of hours ago.

The code works.

sorry, seems like the images were not shown correctly. i´ll give it another try:

so this isnt right?

No. You've got that part right.

What is NOT right is the lack of links to the hardware and the lack of code.
