Not sure if this is still an issue, but for testing purposes perhaps you can replace your GPS program with something that reads an existing data file and pauses between outputting each line, e.g:

Code:

$ cat ./slow-print.sh
#!/bin/bash

while IFS= read -r line; do
    printf '%s\n' "$line";
    sleep 0.5;
done < "$1"

$ ./slow-print.sh sample-data.txt

Something like
/Code
while not grep -iw "longitude" sudo mmcli m --location-get
Do
sudo mmcli m --location-get
Else
Get longitud value
Done
/Code
This is the idea but zI o it thinkis well coded

Something like this:

Code:

longitude= altitude=
while
  read -r line &&
  [ -z "$longitude" -o -z "$altitude" ]
do
  case $line in
  ( *longitude* )
    longitude=$line
  ;;
  ( *altitude* )
    altitude=$line
  esac
done < <( command_to_process )
printf "%s\n" "$longitude" "$altitude"

This runs the "command_to_process" once,
and reads its output until longitude and altitude occurs.

The alternative is to run a command many times, each time checking if the expected output occurs.
