Will respond more later but serial port thing fixed here :

I attempted to follow one set of those directions. Specifically,
I changed /boot/config.txt so enable_uart=1 and disabled auto because
the enable for it was on the line above rthat - seems like they might
have both been put there by raspi-config.

That looked like it ought to work, But it didn't.  Sigh.

If anyone has a /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt that makes
the GPS visible under 2016-05-10-raspbian-jessie-lite, I'd love to see it.

Please see this page:

It explains the change in UART behavior & what the options are used for.  “enable_uart=1”  is used if you want a UART **console** on boot-up.  I suspect this would prevent the use of the UART for other purposes (GPS hat).

I’m working on a good set of boot options now.

Thanks,
