Using more data from PyTrack

[philwilkinson]

I have a PyTrack and was looking to increase the data pulled in beyond the GPS coordinates provided by the L76GNSS Class coordinates Method.
I note a couple of enhancements have been requested to the Pycom's GitHub covering similar things, but these have not been progressed in over a year.
I then started down the road of reading the L76 protocol specification and got a headache...but then realised that somebody has probably done all this before.

Has anyone developed a simple way to pull off the entire data available then parse it using standard (micro)Python functionality? Which of the many packet types is being used? any help welcomed !
It seems a huge waste to only use GPS coordinates when so much more information is provided!

There are indeed enhanced libraries other contributors already shared, though it depends exactly what data you are looking for.
