Hello all,
I have been searching for most of the day today, so if this was already answered somewhere else, please point me in that direction. This is the first aircraft I have ever built so I wouldn't have a problem with someone telling me it's user errors. However, I have my Quad wired up with the APM 2.5 and a uBlox GPS. The uBlox GPS will blink blue, however the mission planner software only shows GPS: No GPS in the flight data.
I have also noticed that I can't plug the cable all the way in to the GPS or it will not power on, so I suppose it's possible that I have a bunk uBlox or bunk cable. Any information that you can provide would be a godsend.

I believe your analysis of your problem is correct. Bunk cable (probably) or bunk gps (less likely).
Although there has been a report of some ublox gps's being shipped without being correctly configured. You could check by downloading ucenter and configuring it manually : http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A148030
