Popped the GPS module into a laptop and PuTTY reveals the following

With almost no knowledge of NMEA, to me this looks like the GPS dongle thinks its back in 1970 and somewhere arround Plymouth.
I think it's the newer module with the larger ceramic top and the green led blinks at approx 1 second intervals.
I'll leave the GPS module in a window for the day plugged into the Anker power brick and if it's still lost in time tonight I'll order a replacement. Of course the power draw of the GPS module may be so low that the Anker shuts down, we'll see.
Any suggestions?
