The only suggestion I can make is that you do realise that you have to be outside to pick up the signal don't you?

Purely a stab in the dark here as I haven't even seen one of these models. Have you got to initialise the GPS first? Like a sort of setup.

Keep playing around with it and I am sure you will get there in the end. Probably something stupidly simple, it usually is.
