Good morning. In reading longitude and latitude, they have an incorrect reading. It returns the latitude to me with 5 digits !!!
What is my mistake?
Is it normal for speed not to mark me zero?

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing MTK3339
Good afternoon.
I can't figure out how to fix this. It happens to me both in latitude and in longitude.
He may be doing the readings well for a good while and suddenly he starts making some misreadings.
Any idea how I can fix it?
thanks.

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing MTK3339
Which Feather are you using this with?
Can you post some more data - showing both good and bad readings?

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing MTK3339
Attached is an image of two misreadings but I have already treated them with software.
Also the piece of code I use to do the reading. Where I already discard the erroneous LAT but not the erroneous LON.
Data is already coming in wrong from GPS. There are some ways to get the coordinates in format
GD (decimal degrees) directly from GPS?

Please post some of the raw NMEA sentences - without any parsing or conversion.

That is just the GPS wing. What processor are you using to read and parse the data from it?Model:

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing MTK3339
Hello,
I'm working with the same project as @JoanCS. With a 100km between his prototype and mine. And I'm having the same issues.
We are using: Adafruit Ultimate GPS featherwing, plugged on Adafruit Feather 32u4 FONA. I have my own both Feathers and @JoanCS have his own both Feathers.
The base of our porgram is tooked from (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ult ... no-library) and I think the problem is inside the library Adafruit_GPS→GPS_HardwareSerial_Parsing. Because the RAW NMEA sentences are correct but not the library convertion values.
Here the example wich I tooked 10 mins ago:

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing MTK3339
Thank you for the additional information. I agree, it looks like the NMEA sentences appear to be getting parsed incorrectly.
Are you using the hardware serial or software serial to talk to the module?
Does your program also communicate with the FONA module - or are you just reading GPS data?

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing MTK3339
My program communicates with FONA and GPS.
I start to have doubts if I chose the right material. There are times when I think communications get mixed up. But it is an intuition.

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing MTK3339
I suspect that some characters are getting dropped on the serial port when you are communicating with the FONA. The FONA communicates via SoftwareSerial and will disable interrupts while processing received characters. This can cause characters from the GPS to be dropped - resulting in a corrupted NMEA sentence.

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing MTK3339
What solution can I apply?
Is there any way for the GPS to return the data to me in my format? decimal degrees?

We are using the HardwareSerial, the Serial1 to receive the information.
Related with the question: Does your program also communicate with the FONA module - or are you just reading GPS data?: We are just takeing the procesed information of the library and with this information we are doing some conversions of values to adapt on our sistem and after that build and URL to upload the values on a server via AT BANNED.
Let me point that we are not working with raw NMEA cuz how we had the Adafruit library wich that break them into separate parts and makes our job easier. But we saw this problem that more than the 50% of readings on Latitude or Longitude apears an extra value. And all time apears in the same position. I mean if the Raw Latitude is 4444.4444N the random extra digit apears all times before point, 4444X.4444N, being the other numbers correct.
