on board GPS no data

With following

(and yes I have attempted to contact the project owners and asked in the comments of the post)
I’ve succeeded in creating the circuit. But I need help with the GPS output.
when I send it “a text” through the blynk app it shows up on the serial monitor as-
Received Text: 746, 5
Waypoint found: 746.005.00
Reading onboard GPS:

But the onboard GPS never sets anything.
the GPS light is blinking [which means its got a fix]
If I plug the GPS TX pin into pin 1 and set the #define GPS_TX_PIN to 1 it gives me the raw GPS data over the serial monitor which is correct if I enter it into google maps. and on u-center, it says its connected to about 7 GPS’s.
But I can’t figure out why the GPS won’t feed this information through.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Mostly GPS modules (especially NEO-6M) requires open space, to get connection with satellite. Near your open window should work (for checking stats and GPS info), but testing should be done in open air

I am also facing the same issue and tried in open air too but it did not work
