Just received a few T-Deck Plus’s loaded with 2.5.1 FW.
Showing No GPS and GPS not Present.
GPS is enabled in the APP.
One unit did show the GPS once- not consistent
I did see this:

### Category
Hardware Compatibility
### Hardware
T-Deck
### Firmware Version…
2.4.2.5b45303 Beta
### Description
The T-Deck Plus is the T-Deck in a case with a battery and soldered on GPS module (same pins as the port on the original T-Deck.
Often the unit will fail to detect the GPS module (not fail to get a fix but report there is no module "No GPS Present")
I've tried it with and without the phone reporting location (just in case that was overriding something)
I noticed in the log it looks like it's detected but then is disabled. I've attached the relevant log entries (that contain "GPS" let me know if you need anything else)

```
Also is the FW the same for the T-Deck and the T-Deck Plus.
The GPS is supposed to be wired identical.

i have tdeck,
but i added gps manually. i think, sometimes it shows “no GPS” , then i had to wait some time, maybe until the gps gets a fix, and then it showed up …
maybe that helps…
Hi,
If the GPS is not wired or configured correctly it will show “No GPS and “GPS not present”
When the GPS is working correctly and indoors for example it will say” No Sats and No GPS lock"
Switching these T-Deck Plus’s on and off sometimes the GPS works sometimes it does not.

However this firmware 2.5.1 still has this issue.
