NEED HELPS!!! THANKS

Take the setup outside, to where you have a clear view of the sky and be prepared to wait up to 15 minutes for a "cold start" fix.

You might want to try Trimble Studio as it will query the module and let you know if the module detects the antenna being open or shorted.

Thank you but i don't need Trimble Studio.
Jremington was right. NOW IT WORKS PERFECTLY!

I just needed to put GPS module outside and wait few minutes for the first time.

Thanks a lot for your help
