GPS libraries

Hi
which gps libraries to use to get a quick fix on the coordinates ? I will be using GPS signals and not GLONASS

@abhishek2101 You have already asked the question, and you already received detailed responses on this topic...
-
@jcaron yes, you are right..I am using the newest libraries from the github repo but still it takes a very long time to get the initial reading.

@abhishek2101 Have you tried the two other libraries that we already pointed you to?
As already explained, it is normal for a pure GPS chip to take a little while to get a fix after a cold start.
I haven't personally used the Pytrack GPS chip, so I have no idea whether it would be capable of saving almanac and ephemeris data for later re-use (either directly in the chip, or via some way to dump and then reload that data) for a quicker TFF, you may want to check the chip's data sheet for details.

If you are unfamiliar with GPS (sounds like that) and curious what "almanac" and "epemeris data" means, have a look at the detailed (and quite interesting) GPS book: https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/GPS-Compendium_Book_(GPS-X-02007).pdf
