Forget all I said It appears GPSD was not running !!

• This might happen, if you use a very old version of gpsd-py3. You need at least version 0.3.0 (which was published in 2017). Easiest way to check the version is to simply re-install gpsd-py3.

• Then start cgps and make sure that it says Status: 3D fix (xx secs). There might be a large number of satellites in the list. However look at the right table's right-most column titled Seen(x)/Used(y). Under bad conditions (e.g. no clear line of sight to the sky), you might have Seen(20)/Used(0), which means: while gpsd knows of 20 satellites, it can't use any of them because reception is too weak. Each satellite that has an N in the Use column cannot be used to establish the precise time. If that's happening to you, you need to check your antenna and the antenna position.
