Thanks for that, I captured the output and here follows a short snippet:

I'm not sure how to interpret this output. Could the above mean the 
actual GPS chipset is working properly? If this is so, could I then 
perhaps have a reception problem that causes me not to get a fix? Sorry 
for the newbie questions, I've yet got a lot to learn! ;-)
