    I also have a very poor GPS signal even with the expensive passive
    antenna, the final module really needs to support active ones.<br>
    <br>
    There's also a slight chance your pigtail cable is broken. That has
    been an issue on some chinese RC transmitters recently, but I don't
    think that's the issue with your GPS, just a poor antenna.<br>
    <br>
    The satellite count and GPS / GLONASS lock state are transferred
    into the vehicle position metrics:<br>

                            in about a minute, this GPS antenna needs

                            <br class="">
                            So maybe you could first try a second GSM
