"Is the green led flashing?" - NO the green led isn't flashing
"Are you on OpenPlotter or another system?" -My configuration is: Raspberry PI 2 B with Open Plotter V6 and USB GPS/GLONASS
"Some tips:
The green led will flash when satellite connection is established. Be sure to have a clear view of the sky. Inside buildings, probably it will not be able to connect to satellites, but inside boats it will.
If you are starting a GPS for the first time, or after it has been powered off for more than a few weeks, this is a 'cold start'; it needs to get a new satellite almanac to do its job. The satellites broadcast this information very slowly (at 50bps) on a fixed schedule, and it can take up to 20 minutes."
-My first attempt: At home on my deck for 1 hour and the green LED does not light.
-My second test: My boat (wooden) at the site for about 1 hour, Nothing
-My third test: On the boat deck and Nothing.
-I also realized a test with my GPS BU353 blinking rapidly it but I can not retrieve the information.
