Greetings.
Did you tell YAAC to _use_ the GPS data in your beacons? By default, this is disabled, because not all YAAC stations have a GPS (and use fixed location instead). Because YAAC will not send invalid or non-existent GPS data (such as when you are driving through a tunnel), you must explicitly check the checkbox to "Use GPS for Position" on your beacon setup to choose to use the potentially intermittent GPS data. Also, only local GPS connections on YAAC (i.e., the position of the YAAC station) will be used for your beacon records; remote records (such as from a balloon or rocket telemetry link) will be used to plot the location of the balloon or rocket but not the location of your YAAC station.
Also, confirm your interface to the GPS is working correctly. Seeing GPS sentences in GTKterm does not verify that YAAC is receiving the GPS data. Instead, use the View->GPS Status menu choice to see what YAAC is receiving from your GPS receiver(s).

I've tried a search but haven't been successful.
Running Ubuntu on a Ryzen 5 laptop.
Running Linux Mint on a Pentium.
Same issue on both.
Attempting to run as a mobile station with either computer, YAAC and a KPC-3+USB in KISS mode, and a U-blox USB chip.
Constantly reconfiguring the ports every time i start YAAC, pretty much have accepted that.
Problem is when it is all configured and running, the position of my vehicle never updates. Stays in the same spot i was in when computer booted and system stabilized.
I'm trying to find the problem point and this is what i have been able to determine;
If i run a serial terminal program (GTKterm) with the correct /dev/ttyUSBx port, and at 4800 baud i can see the data change as i move, and stop and stabilize when i stop.
I have changed the output of the gps dongle to a faster update speed, no help.
I've tried going around GPSD and just running it in YAAC as a serial GPS port, and it shows up when YAAC starts, but still doesn't move.
Any ideas would sure help, and many thanks in advance.
