    Me neither. Wonder what symptoms made the OP come to this conclusion?

    A few months ago I bought one of those USB GPS modules (and a 10 foot
    USB cable so I could get it into a window -- GPS doesn't get through a
    metal roof and metal siding).

    GPS may have a hard time getting through modern, Low-E window glass.
    Low-E windows contain glass that has been coated in invisible layers
    of a metallic oxide. It will greatly attenuate RF signals.
