Cool.  I hope you include the GR-601W, GR-701W and GR-801W in your
results.

There are also many good HATS for Rasberry Pi's: Uputrinics, Adafruit,
and many others.

So the market is wide open, but I suspect your needs are ore narrow.
Be sure to mention your needs, before mentioning particular products.
USB, Serial, HAT, weather proof, etc.

gpsctl can configure the speed, and ascii/binary modes of many GPS.
gpsd also sends config packets to many GPS to put them in sane modes.
