You might want to look here.  We use the U-Blox 8 without the T.

Gary, I think I might know what he's talking about.  The T is the
version that is optimized for time service.  There was some talk on
this mailing list (I think) about enhancing gpsd to know about
the special features, but uBlox charges a hefty premium for the part
and I don't have one, so that never got done.

Denny, we're big fans of the uBlox chips here - I designed a device
around them once. We don't know of any issues when they're used as
location devices.  Can you be more specific?
