My brand new GS407 (uBlox 5) can't seem to find any satellites.
I've connected it to a uBlox Adapter from DIYdrones, powered it with 5v, and using the 4-wire (-,+,Tx,RX) headers I've connected to my computer with an FTDI cable. u-Center is receiving various $GPTXT messages from the unit, but apparently nothing else. I'm not getting any data on the Receiver Status window (other than "No Fix" in red for Fix Mode).
The u-Center Troubleshooting section only tells you how to troubleshoot u-Center, not the GPS module itself. I am a novice with this type of unit, and don't know what to try next.
Any suggestions greatly welcome!
