Since even Rome wasn't built in a day, my first choice is NMEA, but I am
open to anything on higher level to come second.

What about iio?

It is quite flexible and extensible and GNSS coordinates are a not very

describe the position and orientation, maybe speed of the device these
things are built into (at least for mobile devices).
