Hi, i had bought a Venus GPS with SMA Connector and an antenna GPS Embedded SMA as shown below:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11058
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/177

i connected them to my Arduino UNO:
-3.3v power supply to 3.3v of Venus GPS,
-Tx0 pin of Venus GPS to RX of Arduino UNO,
-GND to GND
-3.3v power supply to VBAT.

However, the red led of my Venus GPS did light up but there is no blinking and this is what i get in my serial monitor:
Lat: 0000.0000N Long: 00000.0000E.
(i got my code from the tutorial of Simon Monk).

can anyone tell me what's wrong with my circuit? thanks!

I'm using the same set up and have same problem long and lat 0000, but I don't have any red light on the GPS module. Just a solid green one.

If lack of fix is the problem, could it be I can't get a fix indoors. As my USB to Arduino cable is so short I can't get even to the window. Any ideas?
