GPS out of order?

Hi,

I have a n35 with a GPS antenna. For some time now my destinator app
does not find GPS anymore. Now I want to test if the hardware is
defect.

Can I write a small program that performs diagnostics?

Thank you,

I think you can create a connection that opens the COM port that the N35 GPS
is on and look for NMEA data from it. If you manage to open a terminal
connection on the port, you should see lines that start like $GPRMC or
$GPGGA with text after them. There's no need to write any code for this.

Also I am sure there are freeware GPS display programs available which would
get the data and display it for you - if one of these cannot find data from
your GPS then you may indeed have a problem.
