Case hardware request/idea

The 2g/3g/4g antenna is already using a coax connector (UFL I think) so changing to a better antenna should be easy. The GPS antenna is trickier but I think there have been a couple of attempts, one soldering a coax cable to the board in place of the sprung contacts, and another enlarging the existing printed antenna with some aluminium tape.

Im assuming that keyboard is detected as a usb rather than serial device is this the case? If so any usb capable gps or lte antenna could be incorperated and utilize the break out pins then.
