what is the gps device name? - blicken - 02-08-2020
I have ubuntu touch installed, I would like to read the gps stream from the command-line.
what device file would I read to get the GPS data? yes, the modem is enabled, and yes, I read the other thread about the gps.

Docs for this model seem thin on the ground, but it looks like they have a fair bit in common. This is guesswork based on docs I've found while waiting for mine to turn up. Check dmesg for ttyUSB interfaces which might get renamed by udev rules. One will be a read-only one for the NMEA output, and another takes AT commands for configuring it. I assume you wouldn't be asking if gpsd was connecting to it already.

I'm pretty sure UT takes control of gps so apps can use it, I tried looking for a thread like this on their forums, but the best I could find is this:
