I just noticed the original GPS unit in the README is now marked EOL:
https://shop.m5stack.com/products/mini-gps-bds-unit?variant=16804810784858

There appears to be a V1.1 upgrade here:
https://shop.m5stack.com/products/gps-bds-unit-v1-1-at6668?variant=45727253692673

Helpfully, the replacement unit is cheaper, with better satellite support and positioning accuracy.

Unhelpfully it is currently "Out Of Stock" and has changed the serial baud rate.
This baud rate change will require a new setting.

Furthermore, there's also a unit with an external antenna:

There's a good summary comparing the various units towards the end of this product documentation page:
