Problem getting and holding GPS lock

I'm having problems with getting and holding GPS lock with 2.5. The GPS EM406 test application locks on almost instantly, and gives a position in the serial monitor, Version 2.4.6 for the easy glider seems to work fine,.but when I load 2.5, it initializes and I get a blinking  GPS lock led as expected but it takes an eternity to lock or never locks. Is there a setting for the GPS I need to make changes to?See More

The most recent releases of firmware for the UAV DevBoard are listed on its home page.

You can also browse all of the firmware and documentation on the UAV DevBoard software repository. Everything is in chronological order, with the newest files at the top.

Best regards,

Jay, we're pretty much limited to what Ning (the hosted platform on which we run) provides. The features are just what you see--new ones come only when Ning adds them across all networks.
