SparkFun GPS Breakout - ZOE-M8Q (Qwiic) not working proerly

[sharonf]

Hi Friends!

I am using a SparkFun GPS Breakout - ZOE-M8Q (Qwiic) connected using a qwiic connector to Sparkfun Thing Plus.

I’ve tried running Example 2 as shown in the hookup guide but all I get is:

08:39:38.538 → Waiting for fresh data

Running example 1 I get:

Lat: 0 Long: 0 Alt: 0 Fix: No fix RTK: 0 (No solution)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You need a GPS antenna. Any random antenna will not work.

The one below would be a good choice.
