Let's make sure we are talking about the same GPS
If so, you should see a green blinking light on the GPS unit once it has a lock. Software on the Pi (installed or not) will not have any impact on the GPS unit getting a lock. If you don't have the green blinking light, the Pi will never get a grid because the GPS doesn't have a fix on the satellites.
