GPS working or not working?

From the above picture, i have managed to telemetry from my configurator to my arducopter. I read the configuration of my Arducopter that shows me the GPS lat, long, alt data, but my APM/IMU led C is blinking red instead of stable red led.

 

Was my GPS working or not working?

    Hello!

    I'm not sure that my GPS Mktek 1.6 is logged to my IMU.

    When you power up your IMU,  is the B led on or off? Mine is off. But after some minutes blue Led from GPS stops blinking and becomes fix. B Led is always off. Is it normal?

    Thanks

    Martinit; I am using the Mediatek GPS v16.



    Darren; i am indoor, but i place my gps outside to check whether was the code working. therefore i cannot fly with the gps hold without a fix?



    Sebastian; yes, i am in sengkang. Thank you as least i know my gps working, but no fix mean no gps hold?



    Chris; i had selected the mediatek v16 option.



    To confirm that no gps fix = no gps hold?

    Have you selected the right GPS module? If it's a recent MediaTek, you need to select MTK16

    as darran said, it didn't had a lock, but it gave out position data (are you located in Sengkang? if yes, your GPS is working)

    Fix 0 means no lock. it looks like it had 3 satilites, but hadnt locked in yet. were you outside?
