"I did enable the GPS in the mission planner, the light is still solid but the mission planner still shows GPS: No FIx. Anyone having the same problem?"

"Hello Benjamin, read over this post and I can't find a "Standart Params" tab to enable GPS lock in the MPanner? I'm using the last (.23) version. Could you please give me a tip how to find that menue? A short comment or…"

"Already solved it! First of all, do not forget to test GPS outside! (indoor it cannot connect with satellites) Second, connect Mission Planner to your APM and enable GPS Lock: on Mission Planner -> Configuration -> Standard Params ->…"

"Same problem with me...APM 2.5 and GTPA010 GPS...Mission Planner has no GPS fix and testing GPS on console says always latitude and longitude equal to zero...just altitude has a value. Can someone help solving this issue? Why is this happening?…"

"aahh....it's solved. the problem is the voltage. my battery is 6volt. when I regulate it to 5volt, the GPS working just fine. So, the rules is, the battery voltage must be between 4.8 to 5.4 volt. no more or less"

"Same problem here. the GPS working fine when APM powered from PC or laptop. but then there is no GPS data when powered with battery. is there someone who can help me ?"

"I have a similiar issue. I have just purchased an APM 2.5 and a GTPA010 GPS from the store. I cannot get a GPS fix with the mission planner. Any suggestions?"

"Hey edmar, Can you help me with one thing? Are you using Linux/windows/Mac OS?? and were you trying out HILS? was it working??"

"Okay, that's either a defective module or cable. If you have a spare cable, try to switch it. If you don't please contact 3DR tech support (help@3drobotics.com) to get a RMA and replacement. "

"no, APM 2.5, but it came with the cable… btw. I testet the GPS on the serial console and it says "…G!G!G!G!.G!G!G!G!…" continuously."

"Are you using APM 1? If so, are you sure it's plugged into the right port (the one on the bottom board)?"

"the MediaTek MT3329 from the diydrones store. bought it together with the ardupilot, to get it configured right away ;)"

"Jorg: which GPS module are you using and where did you get it from?"

"thanks for the link. yes it does fit there and in that case I connected it right… Still the same Problem, so what to try next?"

"Jorge: the APM 2.5 board is described in the manual here. The cable that comes with our GPS modules fits in the "old GPS port" connector shown there.  "

"that's a goog question indeed. The Package came with no Documentation whatsoever and none of the online documentation is on par with the current board. the GPS Board has a 6 Pole Connector, it came with a six pole cable and there is only one…"
