GPS Utilities shows that its looking at >0 satellites, but Lon/Lat still shows 0, why?
This is because the GPS receiver is not yet ‘fixed’ with the satellites. Every time your switch on the GPS receiver, it needs to look up the satellites and be fixed with them, and this requires some time – you can see satellites being looked at in GPS Utilities, but no valid position information are transferred at this stage. Lots of factors may affect GPS fixing, such as surroundings, indoor/outdoor, time in the day and even the weather. Our experience shows that it could even take more than an hour to get a fix, while sometimes it takes only seconds. Taking the receiver to a wide open area normally helps a lot with this fix stage.
