Diatone instructions for how to enable the GPS are linked at the end of this paragraph. However they don't seem to be correct. The 9600 baud seems right but when set to NMEA as the instructions show, no sats are detected. When set to UBLOX auto-config, a few sats seem to be detected, but a 3D fix is never achieved. EDIT: The link to the instructions seems to be broken.
