I seem to be fully loaded:

$ mmcli -m 8 --location-status

/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/8
  ----------------------------
  Location |   capabilities: '3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps'
           |        enabled: '3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw'
           |        signals: 'yes'
  ----------------------------
  A-GPS    |    SUPL server: '栭獬瀮浮挳㜰⹭捣㌰㈮灵戮㍧灰湥瑷潲欮潲机㜲㜵'
  ----------------------------
  GPS      |  refresh rate: '30'

What is a SUPL server? And why is mine defined as "unesdoc.unesco.org"?

Which port would the stream be on?

I'm now only getting NMEA from --location-get:

$ mmcli -m 8 --location-get

/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/8
  -------------------------
  3GPP location   | Not available
  -------------------------
  GPS NMEA traces | $GPGGA,0346***REDACTED****,,*61
  -------------------------
  Raw GPS         | Not available
  -------------------------
  CDMA BS         | Not available

Thanks,

A.
