And you? I believe Neil is right here, and this kind of shortcut can

There's UART, long rs/232 cable, and a GPS.
UART needs some kind of power supply, to present voltages on the

GPS needs some kind of power supply to work.
They are different power supplies, and we should have way to tell them
apart.
