+ I'm not sure for most applications the low power mode needs to be used at
+ all on the newer ublox modules. The values for the MAX-7Q are 22mA (6Q
+ 50mA) under acquire, tracking (i.e locked and in max performance) current
+ at is 17mA (39mA 6Q) and power saving reduces this to 5mA or less (15mA on
+ the 6Q). We've observed the issue on the 6 and 7 series.
