  After around 3h with direct view to a clear sky I got the GPS 3D Fix. Now it takes only a few seconds to fix GPS. I thought it should take only 10 to 15 min for the first time but I was wrong, I found a few reports of first fix taking several hours.
  
  Nevertheless... I still cannot see the test working in the CLI, I'm still getting a garbled message as shown in the image attached to my last post. Any clue?
  
  Thanks!

No, Scott. Changing and saving the settings doesnt help at all.

According to Michael Naumov, AC overwrites your changes anyways, until you change the code.

After that I tried to check my modified GPS receiver on APM2.5 by leaving my copter outdoor for about 10 minutes and to collect some statistics with shape of track on MP. And what I see: any modifications don't take effect on performance since you plug GPS receiver to APM.

That is the reason U-BLOX CN-06 V2 is running out of the box.

So it doesnt matter whatever the U-Center shows you...

nah an the neo 6 is great, i use it under two floors and i still get a 6 sat 3d lock.

You should bbuy some of those white to white plugs and plug the gps and telemetry into their dedicated ports

Ha, I remember I had this too when I first tried it on the bench. Panicing because no fix. Inside you only get a fix sometimes and even then after multiple minutes (10-20).

Put the whole thing outside, give it a clear view of the sky and let it sit there for 10 min. Then check if you get a fix.

These crius NEO6 gps's are cheap but they are not very quick to get a 3D fix. Certainly not if their onboard battery is dead or if they haven't had a fix recently in that location.

i have re-flashed the gps few times with different firmwares but still i got the same issue could be that i need a different firmware for the tele? is there is a different one,

i'm really frustrated about this :(
