+  Using the SFE_UBLOX_GNSS_SUPER class
+  By: Paul Clark

+  Date: January 20th, 2023
+  License: MIT. See license file for more information.
+
+  This example shows how to use the SFE_UBLOX_GNSS_SUPER class.
+  It allows you to write multi-purpose code that can:
+  * Detect what hardware the code is running on
+  * Select the correct GNSS interface (I2C/SPI/Serial) for that hardware
+
+  Feel like supporting open source hardware?
+  Buy a board from SparkFun!

+
+  Hardware Connections:
+  Plug a Qwiic cable into the GNSS and a BlackBoard
+  If you don't have a platform with a Qwiic connection use the SparkFun Qwiic Breadboard Jumper (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14425)
+  Open the serial monitor at 115200 baud to see the output
