2. Enable the GPS module:
3. If needed you can set the baudrate for the GPS under the Misc tab. The default is 57600. 4. Reboot

- A red "X" means that the GPS stream is not detected. This will most frequently happen because you are not using the UBX protocol or the baudrate is not matched. Either way, you should check that you configured your UBX GPS
