But, I'm not going to tell you how it is connected, or what code I'm using.

I simply used the wiring and code from the link I posted( UP501 Breadboard-friendly 66 channel GPS module w/10 Hz updates [MTK3329] : ID 660 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits ).

Does your device have a clear view of open sky?

I am aware that the module will have a hard time, connecting with the satellites indors. The problem is, that I don't get any response from the GPS whatsoever. Acording to the command set (

), I should get some returns from whenever I send a command.

My thought is that further codelines are missing in the test-code from adafruit.
