How to use GPS with Arduino - Parse and Log NMEA Sentences

Hi Aidan.
Thanks for this tutorial. Easiest to follow of all GPS examples out there.

A couple of problems:

Serial monitor was showing gibberish until I change the “Serial.begin(115200)” to “Serial.begin(9600”), then it showa the correct data.

But my GPS unit does not achieve a fix. I had it outside for 10 minutes but no fix.

Do I have to wait tlonger than that to achieve the first fix or might something else be not right?

Thanks.
