Could it be that the GPS module has gone to sleep ?

Okay,thanks to all who answers my question. But i want to know what kind of PC you guys programming on it thanks. A Raspberry Pi 3 ? For practical reasons you do not use a PC to build programs for a raspberry because the Pi processor has a different architecture. I suggest you have a look at MagPi ...

Let me ask again: Did you follow the instructions ? My guess is no, because formatting the SD card as FAT32 indicates that you are not using the SD Formatter.

Re: What kind of devices I need for develop

All you need is a Raspberry Pi, preferably the Pi 3, a network cable or WiFi access point, and a (USB) card reader.
On your computer you will need Putty.
If have a monitor with HDMI interface, an USB Keyboard and an USB mouse, then you do not need your computer to operate the Pi.

Re: backing up sd card

Maybe you should use something like rsync or cp instead of dd ?
With dd you do a "physical" copy which includes the partition table and the file system structure, rsync/cp is a "logical" copy which only copies the files from one file system to another file system.

Re: Security - Delete pi or No?

IMHO There is no need to delete the user Pi when you disable ssh user/password authentication and you use public key authentication in combination with fail2ban. I have been using fail2ban for about two months and I have not seen any login attempt with the username Pi.

That happens when power is removed while host keys are being generated. I would like to add that the time for this process seems to depend on the size of the SD card because of extending the partition/file system on first boot. For this reason it is recommended to be patient, wait a few minutes bef...

Re: RPI Multi-Network router

You overlooked two important rules:
- There will be only one default gateway (not relevant in this case)
- The gateway address must be in the same subnet as the interface (relevant here)

This line is a problem:

Why are you using a static IP address on your eth0 interface ? Under "normal" conditions, using dhcp, your router would provide the configuration for the interface, the routing AND the DNS server(s). Very likely your problem is DNS because you are pinging a hostname, it should work if you use an IP-...
