        How long did you wait? If the module hasn't gotten a fix, in NMEA mode, it
will only print a message every 14 seconds, the format of the message is
something you can look up, but there are two numbers in the middle of it
that are critial: 0,0, the first number tells you if the module has a fix. A
0 means no, a 1 means yes. The second number tells you how many sats the
module sees, 3 are required at minimum for a position fix, 4 are required to
get altitude. It takes abotu 10 minutes at maximum after a complete power
fail for the modules to give a location. If you want connect the module to
your com port and start up hyperterminal, port settinsg are baud=4800,
stop=1, parity=none, flow control=none, you should see a $GPS.... line every
14 seconds. TTYL
