How to access GPS data in Mobian
#2
You could install gpsd and run one of the clients. xgps works but is not optimized for the screen. The text based clients gpsmon and cgps will give you all the typical GPS statistical information. The NMEA output that gpsd needs is on /dev/ttyUSB1. The config file is in /etc/default/gpsd

The antenna is very weak and it will take a long time outdoors even with a clear view of the sky to get a lock. You will want to run the AGPS proof of concept script to speed up the initial lock. https://gist.github.com/alastair-dm/2632...e555fa6628

You can also talk directly to the modem via AT commands to get a location manually, It is what the AGPS script uses. https://sixfab.com/wp-content/uploads/20...l_V1.1.pdf
