Here is a link to a design that I attempted to make with the V634FLPx. I used the design from sparkfun…When I powered up the board, there seemed to be a short that caused the board voltage to drop from 3.3 volts to 1volt.

Perhaps I have been looking at this too long and I am missing something simple…Anyways if anyone sees the problem please let me know. I cannot seem to find the issue. Thanks!
In my design pin 14 is not connected. in your design you cannot use passive antenna, only active antenna
I am planning on using the V-Torch active antenna from the following link,

I just followed the schematic from SF for the data loggin version, and their design has pin 14 connected. So I assume I must use the active antenna now?
Thanks for taking a look!
Looks like I must have soldered improperly the first time. It works now…it is sending stuff back…still havn’t gotten a lock yet so i guess I will look at the manual and see if I have to send some request or something. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks again!
Just had to leave it on for a while…30 minutes it gets a lock in my room now sometimes quick within a minute sometimes longer…Just like most gps’s. I am pretty sure that outside it will work better.
