We are not sure about this, but it might be, that theres a voltage leaking
on the EMC-shield behind the microSD - also just a guess, it might be the
contacts of the SD-reader that are pretty hard and need a lot of pressure.

Awesome. At least we now know what's causing the problem.
Is there a chance that changing the orientation of the internal

We checked it with some different Sandisk models and the card from OM (also

I can give confirmation too.
Without microSD card I got a fix in 53s.
With the microSD card I neither got a fix nor even got a single
satellite to show up although I tried it at different locations (even on
the highest point nearby with hardly any buildings and good weather

Did you say
It's indeed sad that it's the SD reader that's causing the problems, but at
least the problem has been found now. It will be much easier to find a
decent solution that allows the SD card to remain in the card reader. I just
hope it can be fixed at home with some soldering or a homemade EMC-shield.

Maybe we should only insert the card once the fix is acquired. At
least at times where we want to use both GPS and SD. Not much of a
solution, but it still act as a workaround (provided the GPS is able
to keep the fix once the SD is re-inserted).
