Best practice for monitoring phone signal

[rskup]

I've only played around with GPS a little using PuTTY for the AT commands and a usb cable to the FONA. I've never tried GPS through the FONA sketch or TinyGSM, though now you've mentioned it I'm curious to try them both out and see what happens.

Just dawned on me ... did you try the FONA sketch first, didn't work, then moved on to TinyGSM and that worked? Have you gone back and tried the FONA sketch again?

The reason I ask that is that the first time the chip "fires up" GPS, it can take several minutes before it works, it has something to do with downloading "almanac and ephemeris tables" first, as mentioned in this post. There's a bunch of info in that post about the 5320 and gps, maybe something there will help.

I'll have a look at that. I have been back and forth between both fona and tinygsm and several other versions. Fona never works and tinyGSM always works.
