Hi,
I’m looking for a GNSS module which supports Qwiic system, so I found XA1110 GPS Breakout (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14414).
On the vender’s website, the chip is described as “Supported for Existing Designs”.
I’m concerned that this chip is under NRND or EoL status.
Is there an alternative board available? Or is it active?
I would presume their info is accurate
We have several other options https://www.sparkfun.com/categories/86; this is the one that popped to mind for me as a replacement https://www.sparkfun.com/products/18037 (be sure to check specs to ensure it will suit your use-case!)

Thank you!
The MAX-M10S module requires an external antenna but it looks pretty good (Low cost and low power consumption).
I also noticed that the SAM-M10Q chip has almost the same specs as the MAX-M10S and has an internal antenna.

There are many GNSS modules out there, but few are suitable for battery-powered applications.
