I have a couple of the Ultimate GPS breakouts and one of them does not seem to ever get a 3D fix (i.e. no satellites).
I've connected via FTDI using SkyTraq's GPS Viewer, as well as GlobalTop GPS Tool and both show a 2D fix and no satellites ever pop up. I've connected using an Arduino and used the example code and the output shows a fix = 1 and 0 satellites.
Seems the one unit is fouled up. The other unit seems to work fine via the FTDI/software and Arduino. Am I missing something here?
I am using the same external antenna and uFL connector on both units. The same antenna is used on a couple of other GPS units (SkyTraq Venus GPS modules) without any problem and the FTDI interface is the same in all cases.

Re: Ultimate GPS 2D fix only
Thank you.. direct comparison tests like that make it easy to isolate problems. In this case it sounds like you do have a dead module.
