Ok, we'll go with that then.  I don't have code for any of the GPS stuff
at this point, but various Sierra modems (and Ericsson ones too?) do
have the AT-command GPS capability which is what I was basing that part
off of.  Qualcomm-based devices that use QCDM on some ports also have a
GPS subsystem but that's not reverse-engineered yet.  In any case, I
though it would be wise to include that.

Sure, looking forward to it.
