GPS compatible modems.

[Marc Murphy]

I tried that before and it fails;

# mmcli -m 0 --location-enable-gps-nmea --location-enable-gps-raw
error: couldn't setup location gathering: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error.Core.Unsupported: Cannot enable unsupported location sources: 'gps-raw, gps-nmea''

I get that on all the modems.

You are missing following commands:

--location-enable-gps-nmea
--location-enable-gps-raw

Now try mmcli -m 0 --location-get and you should get your coordinates.
