The T-Deck External GPS is not working with the latest FW 2.3.2
It says " No GPS"
It works fine with 2.2.19.
Is this a bug or is there a new configuration setting to enter or something else?
Also after flashing 2.3.2 I am unable to go back and flash 2.2.19.

Thanks

So it turns out with the newer versions the GPS must be specifically enabled in the configuration.

“GPS must be specifically enabled in the configuration”

Do you mean via the keyboard command Alt C then G? That isn’t working for me.

Maybe this is what you mean?

Enable the GPS via the serial command line:
meshtastic --set position.gps_enabled true

I will tell you now, the “web interface” is buggy and half the time the settings never save."

Pair your T-Deck with your phone app via BT.
Go to “Radio Configuration” in the phone app.
Go to the “Position” menu and select “GPS MODE”
Toggle “enabled” from the drop down menu.
That should do it.
