@test27 please create new topic for discussing different thing, as requested in the forum rules. It is the second time I split topics for you.

We have similar discussion in this forum: https://www.uugear.com/forums/technial-support-discussion/gpsdr-gnss-reception-improvement-for-getting-a-fix-with-the-u-blox-m8n-chip/

Usually, getting a (stable) GPS fix indoor should not be expected. A GPS fix can still happen in the house, but it heavily depends on the timing and location. A place near the window has bigger chance.

Connecting an external GPS antenna could help, probably thanks to:

  • bigger antenna size, and
  • the flexibility to adjust angle during usage, and
  • keep away from sources of interference from the device itself
