Yeah.  I thought so too.  I wanted to run more tests, but I am only
allowed a few tries a day.

In this case, just the ephemeris.

Ephemeris is everything in the almanc, and better.

It is not.  It reads these two from the receiver "UBX-SEC-UNIQID", and :
"UBX-MON-VER".  The sends those two and a user specific token, to the
cloud.

Not an option.  Here are the options:

usage: assistnow_example_v1.1.1.py [-h] -P PORT [-B BAUDRATE] -z ZTP_TOKEN
                                   [-v] [-p | -l | -n]

AssistNow predictive/live orbit client example

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -P, --port PORT       Serial port to connect to (e.g. COM1 or /dev/ttyUSB0)
  -B, --baudrate BAUDRATE
                        Baud rate for serial communication (default: 38400)
  -z, --ztp_token ZTP_TOKEN
                        ZTP device profile token
  -v, --version         Show version and exit

AssistNow Data Options:
  -p, --predictive      Obtain predictive orbits from AssistNow (default)
  -l, --live            Obtain live orbits instead of predictive orbits
  -n, --no_assist       Measure TTFF without any AssistNow data
