Yay, it works finally!:) (Almost)

I tried all kinds of posibilities many times, and it works only then:
1. Flashing bq-aquaris.en channel
2. Turn on GPS with Nokia HERE setting.
3. Restart.

Tests show, that it works independent of radio version, it can be old or new, does not matter (It always works if 1-2-3 above is done on any channel, and don't work if the opposite).

It matters to have /bq-aquaris.en channel installed, because I could not find Nokia HERE setting on '/ubuntu' channel..

Tested with SensorsStatus app and uNAV app, it works. But "sudo test_gps" command only shows empty values... and two "unkown error" at the start.

If I disable wi-fi and enable flight mode, gps still recognizes location correctly, so this means that GPS itself must be working.

Tried to drive with my finally working GPS today, but signal was very unstable, map choppy, unav was not knowing the direction and all kinds of other problem - mostly loosing signal. I could reacuire signal only by switching apps SensorsStatus -> uNAV, and visa versa, this way signal always reappears but only if I switch those apps, and after a minute, lost again.

I'll test more later (weeks). But glad it works just a bit, some more steps and it might be working well! :) Now the questions are why is does not know direction (compass etc.), why test_gps does not work, why maps are so choppy (not smooth) and what causes signal to always dissapear untill I swith apps.
