...can be used to get GPS data. Droid4 seems to have rather bad
GPS,
so you should probably put it near window for testing.

Is there way to grab data from modemmanager and feed it to gpsd,
so
that normal applications can access gps? I don't see easy way.

I tried --location-enable-gps-unmanaged , but that did not work
for
me.

That requires a TTY that would spit out the GPS data; in this mode
MM
only sends the start/stop commands, and what comes out the GPS TTY
is
undefined (at least by MM).

So unless you know that one of the 6600's TTYs does GPS and in what
format it does GPS, then no.

Doesn't --location-get-gps-nmea work for you?  That will spit out
the
latest NMEA traces MM gets from the modem, if it supports NMEA.  I
believe --location-status will tell you what methods MM supports
with
the modem.

Yes, --location-get-gps-nmea works for me.

I guess one way forward would be to implement --location-get-gps-nmea
support for qmicli, and use that?

Yeah, libqmi already has the necessary bits but it's not plumbed
through to qmicli.  Note that qmicli is a straight interface to QMI and
doesn't try to impose abstractions on anything, so you wouldn't get --
location-get-gps-nmea, but you'd instead be working directly with the
QMI PDS (older) and/or LOC (newer) service commands.
