I have a project which use GPS. I use the code "How to drive the GPS Mode via Arduino board" in it
But It's not work, I use Serial monitor and I receive some lines like that:
$GPGGA statement information:

I put the module in the window and it worked perfectly, with only the usb connected. udelunar

It looks like the GPS module might not have a lock to a satelite. Are you outside or near a window? If you are arround large buildings you might have trouble locking onto a satelite. How are you providing power? and how much power? You should at least be providing 7v 1A, please don't provide more than 9V.
Also, have you inserted a SIM chip? this shield requires a SIM chip for the GPS to work.
