GPS Not Found

Hello, today I received my APM2 and I have loaded the firmware 2.28 with the APM Planner1.1.38. But there is no way to detect the GPS. NO GPS continually displays.

That just means that you don't have GPS lock. Try outdoors and give it a minute or two.

I thought so. Chris, but I have 3 hours on the dashboard of the car outside and there is no way, the light is blocked but the APM Planner does not seem to read anything of GPS.

i downloaded 1.1.37 and it is ok, why the 1.1.38 is giving me this error?

two days ago, saturday i updatet the apm planner (i don´t remember the version) maybe to 1.1.37!!!, and then went to the field, started to fly and everything was ok, fbw test ok, and began my usual rtl test before loading and starting any mission....

when switched to rtl, the uav began to come nose down searching for a lower that normal rtl altitude, i remembered that i had to change the rtl config altitude to 150 meters........ wrote it on the config tab and sent it to the uav......

at that moment i told the pilot to do the fbw test again and then problems started........ the APM began to inisiatize, lost control for a moment, switched to manual and kept flying..... 

landed the uav and that day we stoped the plan, came to the workshop to see what has happened....

what do you think?

Hello, again.
I reloaded the firmware for the fourth time and now seems to be going well, I'm indoors. but now appears not fix, I will bring it to the street to see if there is reading, thanks.



It seems that telemetry is the same problem, NO GPS,
