+## AGNSS
+
+The GNSS receivers support assisted GNSS. The datasheet refers to another file, "AGNSS solution of ZhongKe micro". I could only find these slides from an [unofficial source](https://espruino.microcosm.app/api/v1/files/b589417f21931e2a2182c6785b846ac64ef64b40.pdf).
+
+The document contains the following code and the password and username of a free trial account which is rate-limited to 1000 requests per hour. The code works and the server is still online and will complain if you don't provide a username/password. I could not confirm that this account worked, either due to bots hitting the 1000 requests per hour rate limit or due to it being deactivated since the document was made.

+```py
+addr = "121.41.40.95"  # Server address
+port = 2621  # port
+message = b"user=freetrial;pwd=123456;cmd=full;lat=30;lon=120;"  # Request message
+import socket
+
+socket.setdefaulttimeout(4)
+client = socket.socket()
