Qualcomm uses their own xtra-daemon service instead of the standard AOSP PSDS service like Broadcom. xtra-daemon does support changing the PSDS (XTRA) URLs via gps.conf in the vendor image but we need dynamic configuration. We'll only switch to our server after we integrate this.
We've added another PSDS data cache at http://qualcomm.psds.grapheneos.org (http://qualcomm.psds.grapheneos.org) for devices using Qualcomm GNSS rather than Broadcom GNSS.
We plan to use this to implement our PSDS server toggle for Snapdragon Pixels and future Snapdragon devices we'll end up supporting.

March release of the upstream Android Open Source Project and stock Pixel OS have been delayed. We're looking into it and will determine how to proceed soon. We'd prefer to release a single full update instead of a partial one followed by a full update once those are released.

We've added much more detailed information on cellular-based A-GNSS (Assisted Global Navigation Satellite System) to our FAQ:
https://grapheneos.org/faq#other-connections (https://grapheneos.org/faq#other-connections)
It explains the difference between control plane vs. user plane A-GNSS, differences between the devices and what we improve.

It's not worth modifying it to support using TLSv1.3 + TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3-only. We use the same cipher suites either way (ECDHE + AES-GCM/ChaChaPoly + SHA2) so it makes little difference. It's not at all latency sensitive so saving a round trip for connections wouldn't matter.
Their current products are the same kind of scamming based on shoddy engineering and false security claims. As you can see from their Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/MyntexInc), they have a long history of spreading misinformation about open source projects and claiming their faulty products are better...
