How to work GPS in GM862-GPS

Hello there,

i read lots of forums and guide’s but still couldn’t answer the problems about gps part of the module.

I’m using a telit GM862-GPS with EVK2(telit). I installed the latest firmware. I managed to connect the module to the computer via RS232 and send AT commands (sms’ing, calling, answering etc.). However the commadn AT$GPSACP, which should return the GPS value returns just local time and available satellite number (0). The antenna is outdoor and still same result.

Does the second RS232 port named TRACE works for GPS data. If so how should i use it to retrieve the GPS data??

Also i tried to connect the evk2 with usb port, installed the drivers and managed to send commands. However when i look at the COM8, which is the virtual com port after the drivers are installed, i see a stream of data coming non-stop. What does this data mean?

so if you can guide me to how to retrieve the GPS data at the AT command prompt, i will be well pleased
