Is there any chance to talk on the phone so I can understand better?.

Take a look at http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc30 ... /sendtweet to see how you can Tweet stuff via Wi_Fi. Clearly you won't have Wi-Fi everywhere, but you can log the data and Tweet it when you have a Wi-Fi connection. Another option is to use a cell network to send data, but as far as I know Adafruit doesn't have a device that will allow you to connect to a cellular network. I am pretty sure there are Arduino compatible products available that can provide that connectivity.

Hi, All.
I made "FLORA NeoGeo Watch" and how I can understand It cant reach a GPS signal.
I upload to FLORA code from there https://learn.adafruit.com/flora-wearab ... ation-data
and in COM monitor I see no FIX ;-(

This is sample output from console:

Time: 0:36:38.800
Date: 6/1/2080
Fix: 0 quality: 0
$GPGGA,003639.800,,,,,0,0,,,M,,M,,*4F

$GPRMC,003640.800,V,,,,,0.00,0.00,060180,,,N*4B

Your module appears to be working. Take it outside with a clear view of the sky. It might take 20 minutes or so to get the first fix. If you have the backup battery installed, it will get a fix more quickly the next time you power it up.
