What gps/gprs module do you have?
What model of Raspberry Pi do you have?

Buy a Ublox6 style GPS, I have a few and they seem to work.
Attach directly to the UART on pin 4/6/8/10 and off you go. Just need line of site and a bit of setup.

I gave up with the Pi3 and have gone back to my Pi2 and A+ to setup. Works easily. The code should work on the Pi3 so will see if it is just plug and run once it works.

Articles may say about using AMA0 but use serial0 instead to make it portable and use the lasted updated Raspian.

You can also use USB versions and other makes as needed.
