The `0/6 sats` has me concerned that it’s not able to make a fix on any known satellites. My next step would be to place the device in the most open southern-facing spot possible - making sure the GPS antenna is securely connected and there is no possible interference.

Are you completely powering-down the Pi in between runs? If so, FYI the Notecard will lose any satellite data it has stored, so a cold start will require additional time to get a fix.

[This thread may be helpful](https://discuss.blues.com/t/gps-is-off-response/189) as well - including my next suggestion, which would be to get a GPS trace log. See the [instructions here](https://discuss.blues.com/t/how-do-i-capture-a-trace-information-from-notecard/152/1) for initiating a trace, and note you’ll want to use this argument with your `card.trace` call: `"trace":"+gpsmax"`.

We will figure this out!
