Hi,

just to be sure: have you tested inhouse or where? as there is 0 satellites it cannot work...

Hi,

this is unfortunately not normal.
Is this value displayed immediately after powerup?

From when it started to appear?

This is tested inhouse where no GPS is available (workbench). The value appears right after startup and gets back to normal sometimes. I will perform a few more tests to get better tsting results.

BR, Eugen

OK.... then it's clear... i do not have a Geo-Link, but i have a GPS in a sportsplane - and it's the same story until it has fixed at least 5-7 satellites data is garbage.

Ciao & have a nice WE

With GeoLink you should see precise measurement from the beginning.

The most probably could be some issue with the cable.
