Thread: Deluo GPS Diag and OEM GPS - Need Help

Yes, but I have read of others who get locks from their living rooms just fine. I guess I can haul everything outside, but since it comes up with coordinates I was wondering if it does find satelillites.

Will have the screen shot up in a minute...

Here is the screen shot.

Damn, you're good... This is where it ends up...

is that the oem module?

Hard for me to tell if those are valid coordinates if they are blacked out. Your GPS will spit out coordinates even if you aren't receiving anything from the sat.'s

nm, I guess I should have read the title


I could never get any sats with the deluo test program, I had to use routis before I saw anything

or mapmonkey for that matter

GPS signals from the satellites are most easily described as the light from flashlights. The satellites are the flashlights and anything that would block the light would also block satellite GPS signals.

Yea others have aquired signals in thier houses but its a rare ocasion. Take the GPS mod outside and let it find a signal that way.
