APM 2.5 issues with GPS

All,

I have an APM 2.5 that I bought more than 2 years ago at RCTIMER. It has been seatting on a shelf since.

I have trouble with the GPS, a GTPA010, I can't get it to work.

I have tried to use the MEDIATEK FW utility, but I always get a

I can use the mini gps tools and set the FW to 57600. I have used a FTDI and I can see text I can read using a serial monitor. But APM can't see it.

Also since I upgraded to 3.2 using mission planner, I get only weird character wen I try to use the CLI SW.

  Hello,
  
  Sorry for the title, I can't edit it anymore.
  
  Yes it is a APM 2.5. I have set the GPS to 115200, so that's a good reason for it to fail.
  
  What about the other issue with the CLI that only display werid characters?
