As a retired systems engineer I should ask for a better understanding of what you are planning or pursuing.  Not sure you are trying to improve range or get higher bandwidth or ???  Trying to do a different architecture than APRS?  Experimenting?  Integrating into some aspect of the existing APRS effort?

I believe unless you are going to roll your own from ground up… most of the LoRa modules are Part 15

There are thousands of articles in just a quick search using keywords LoRa + GPS

Many LoRa projects on Hackaday
