I recently purchased the adafruit ultimate gps with USB: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4279#tutorials
I tried both the sample programs provided by https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_GPS and the windows application that can be found here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ult ... /downloads
The gps module does not seem to be reporting back any data for either method. However, it does appear that the windows application did find a port to connect to but i was able to get no data back. My testing was done using an Arduino Uno and without the battery that appears to be for just settings retention after power down.
I talked to EdKeyes and danh on the discord and they agreed that the guide for it was messed up. danh said he fixed it and recommended that I post it here as it looks like I bought the wrong one.

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS issues
Did you want to exchange your unit for the correct model? If you are using an Arduino you do not want the USB version, but the UART TTL model.

Re: Adafruit Ultimate GPS issues
Yes, as I am using an Arduino, that would be preferable.
