PinePhone GPS ?
#18
Hmm, so the public info sheets available from Quectel in that page don't give GNSS receiver part numbers, or even the manufacturer, for that matter. There are links to two pages that indicate they contain GNSS specs, but they're behind a login screen. Anyone have access to these, or are they NDA'd?

It should be possible to communicate directly with the GNSS receiver using it's manufacturer-specific protocol in order to do things like turn off the receiver while keeping the modem on. The hard part would probably be just configuring the Quectel chip to talk over the correct pins.

Turning off the cell modem but keeping GNSS on may be trickier.
