1. Due to the instability of GPS indoor search, please put the module or antenna next to the balcony or window, or conduct experiments directly outdoors.
2. The first positioning of the module (cold start), under normal circumstances (outdoors, good weather, no large building block), takes 35 seconds to successfully locate, please wait patiently. If the weather conditions are bad, it may take longer to locate, or even fail to locate.
