I use neo 6 ublox 6 GPS module. I choose to connect the GPS to the raspberry using a USB port. I followed these steps:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo cat /dev/ttyUSB0  
$GPRMC,144034.00,V,,,,,,,090315,,,N*75
$GPVTG,,,,,,,,,N*30
$GPGGA,144034.00,,,,,0,00,99.99,,,,,,*60
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,99.99,99.99,99.99*30
$GPGSV,1,1,01,15,,,25*7B

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd   
start gpsd automatically: yes
Should gpsd handle attached USB receivers automatically: yes
Device the GPS receiver is attached to: <leave blank>
Options to gpsd: -n /dev/ttyUSB0
gpsd control socket path: <use default>

sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
cgps -s
**NO FIX**

What should I do for NO FIX problem?

    if you run cgps (without -s) do you get any data? If you only have a few satellites I think it reports NO FIX. Also use gpspipe.

  • Does your GPS have a clear view of the sky?

  • cgps and gpspipe should both just show curated data in the same way as your cat command did. Only things I can suggest are update, reboot and try a powered USB hub.

my GPS module is based on L80-39 chip, I've installed gpsd and gpsd-clients packages to drive this module, and reboot my Raspberry Pi. you can try those command as following:

sudo killall gpsd
sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.socket

or Edit /etc/default/gpsd file, input your device name and parameters:

enter image description here

sudo systemctl enable gpsd.socket
sudo systemctl start gpsd.socket 
sudo cgps -s

it may works. good luck. enter image description here

in my case it was only solvable by altering parameters in '/etc/default/gpsd' there you can set your /dev/ttyUSB0 for example and -n if the normal method does not work

Edit the file /etc/default/gpsd and add your serial port in DEVICES, like

DEVICES="/dev/ttyUSB0"
