How Can I make Kstars read the GPS from a WWAN card?

[Rani Ahmed]

Hello. I run Debian Linux version 12. I recently bought a WWAN card. WWAN
is short for wireless WAN. It's a 4G and 3D Internet modem and has a GPS
receiver built in the card. I am running it on my Dell laptop workstation
precision 7530.
This is the *lsusb* result of the card:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 413c:81cc Dell Computer Corp. DW5816e Snapdragon™ X7
LTE

the WWAN modem is shown this way by this command:

*mmcli --list-modems *
which produces this output:
    /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0 [Sierra Wireless, Incorporated]
DW5816e Snapdragon™ X7 LTE

There is no /dev/ttyUSB0 or whatsoever in order to forward the GPS data to
the gpsd server so I can make kstars read gpsd.

I only can read GPS NMEA data and GPS RAW data if I issue the command to
enable the :
*mmcli -m 0 --location-enable-gps-nmea*
*mmcli -m 0 --location-enable-gps-raw*

This is the command that shows the GPS data.
*mmcli -m 0 --location-get *

example result:
