Ahh, I just made a terrible error.
I tried to remove the antenna springs in order to solder direct to the PCB. Bad idea!! I've managed to destroy the solder pads, and I can't see any material to solder to now. So I've gone from woeful GPS to absolutely no GPS. :-(
Best to use the spring contacts than to remove them. The MHF u.fl connectors sounds like a good idea.
Any chance the tiny connector near the LTE coax connector is GPS? It's not u.fl but something even smaller. Pity, since I don't have any connectors that small or I'd try it.
