I did it again. I made the assumption that the PinePhone has no way of killing the GPS. In fact, this is incorrect. According to the PinePhone wiki [1] the hardware killswitch for the modem also kills the GPS:

> Modem: On enables 2G/3G/4G communication and GNSS hardware, off disables.

That is because the GPS is bundled with the modem.

> GNSS: GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo/QZSS, with A-GPS

The PinePhone sounds great!
