GPS Shield LEA-6H

Hi there,

I recently purchased a DFRDuino GPS shield (with Ublox LEA-6H module), and have tried using the [url=http://"http://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/DFRduino_GPS_Shield-LEA-5H_(SKU:TEL0044)"]sample code[/url] provided, however the results that are being printed to the Serial Monitor don't make a lot of sense:

[code]DFRobot DFRduino GPS Shield v1.0
$GPGGA statement information:
UTC:151528.00
Lat:inf
Dir:,
Lon:-440400288.00000
Dir:,
Alt:inf[/code]

My serial baud rate is 9600. I am using an Arduino Uno with using Arduino 1.0.5, and have also tried Arduino 1.5.4 - both yield the same result. I've tried using TinyGPS++ library, however it says it can't find a GPS module. I've disconnected the jumpers when uploading, and reconnected them after the upload has finished.

Really appreciate any help with this. I can provide more information if necessary.

I took it outside for 5 minutes and it started working, brought it back inside again and it started to work. However it seems very susceptible to interference. What sort of things should I keep it away from? Thanks for your help.

It looks like work, but the date is not correct. Are you indoor? or signal is not very well.
When  GPS module is indoor, or signal is disturb. It can't find the satellite
