Hello,
I am trying an EM-406 GPS unit with a Mega 2560 using the Arduino 1.0 r2 IDE. I have just tried the test_with_gps_device example sketch with the TinyGPS library. It seems to compile and upload ok but I get the following output in the serial monitor.

I assume I should be receiving the data from the gps and seeing numbers where the zero's and asterisks are? I have been able to extract NMEA sentenes with other sketches so I think my connections are ok.
Many thanks for your time.
