3.24 is current.  Multiple GNSS NMEA is rapdily evolving.

Not helpful.  What you need to send is the NMEA you get, with that I can
see what cgps would show.  Ignore gpsmon, it is obsolete.

Without your NMEA, no way to see what is happening.

Not without your NMEA.

Can you verify your GNSS receeiver is set to NMEA 4.11?  Earlier versions
of NMEA did not forsee today's multiple constellations.

Your exact make, model, firmware version, and receiver settings will
also be helpful.
