TinyGPS++ library Sample Show Invalid location, date and time.

Hi, I’m using RHF76-052AM, seeeduino lorawan w/gps board as end node. I’m following the guidelines (http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Seeeduino_LoRAWAN/) and I encountered issues while trying the sample using TinyGPS++ library. The output I get is like following:

Not able to get a fix in alloted time.





I dun know what is the reason causing the output. I try the basic example of the TinyGPS++ library below instead, but I didn’t get any output in the serial monitor.



#include <TinyGPS++.h>

/*

This sample sketch should be the first you try out when you are testing a TinyGPS++

(TinyGPSPlus) installation. In normal use, you feed TinyGPS++ objects characters from

a serial NMEA GPS device, but this example uses static strings for simplicity.

/



// A sample NMEA stream.

const char gpsStream =

Hope can get some insight.



Thank you.

Hi, I managed to get the correct NMEA data by placed my end node outdoor or near the window for several minutes. After getting the correct NMEA data, the tinyGPS++ sample code shows the correct output and my problem solved.



Hope this will help anyone encounter the same issue.

how, i am still getting INVALID for every thing, no matter what i do
