Hello, i have gps MN5515HS, he is not giving the coordinates, I just get V (guess that means satelite invalid) and UTC date and hours .. I left the building yesterday to test the open sky, but got no result, only one satellite that was appearing and disappearing all the time .. is that my module has problems? .. maybe outdated firmware? yesterday was overcast, maybe that?
can anyone help me pls?

The antenna I use is this Sarantel SL1204 antenna is active .. and this module is part of a kit that comes gsm and a pic with him ... so I think that the supply voltages are OK .. the kit recommends 9V.This is what you did you mean by enable the power supply?sorry i dont have much experience with gps..
do you wanna see datasheet of kit?
 

I agree that the antenna power supply should be enabled with the kit. Check the connection of the VANT pin.

Jumper J4 must be populated.
 
pin 13-VANT is jumped with pin 14-VRF, the pin has a voltage of 2.85..J4 is jumpered..

FvM thanks for your help...observing datasheet antenna, I noticed how the antenna signal propagates, and then put the module in the horizontal ... and worked ... = D
I think I was missing half of the signal to ground ..
sorry for the inconvenience .. and thanks for your help ..
