Hey I am currently working on it following this hint in the gps Issue on Github https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-por.../issues/50
My current state is the following
* EG25 devices show up under /dev/ with udev rule as in pmOS patch https://github.com/jmechnich/qtposition_gpsd (just put it in /etc/udev rules.d)
* gpsd can be installed and started with init.d script (see pmOS patch)
* atinout 0.9.1 patched with https://github.com/beralt/atinout/commit...ea7df5bbb3 and cross compiled
* device hook script installed and executes fin
* Can see output after activation using cat /dev/EG25.NMEA
* gpsd does not seen to work yet using gpsmon does connect but no gps position is shown

Next steps
* figure out whats wrong with gpsd any hints appreciated
* cross compile https://github.com/jmechnich/qtposition_gpsd
* figure out where qt plugins are located in UBports
* make plugin work

For me it does NOT work! No GPS data after all these things listed and done in the thread listed above. I hope that on on any future build the GPS function will be happen

Didnt work for me at first either. Then i realized that i both had typos and was entering some script out of order. Then it worked fine. But it only seemed to stay on until i first switched the toggle off. Toggle back didnt seem to turn it back on. Bit of a pain if we must manually do this each time for now. Nonetheless, im seeing most growing pains worked out.
