Is this antenna compatible?

Question

I purchased INTERNAL GPS antenna of cooking Hacks for FONA 808 module. the module has a UFl connector on which the antenna fits snugly. Problem is I am able to fix satellite even waiting 30mins

I have tried every where.... Even on the terrace! no signal.

Please suggest.

Probably not.. why didn't you use the recommended one on the adafruit page?

The adafruit one is passive, whereas the cookinghacks one is active. The latter need a power source (usually inline from the receiver module although with difficulty there are other solutions).

You'd have to check the adafruit module documentation (or ask adafruit, since they sold it to you) to find out if it supports an active antenna.
