Found what was wrong. The ESP32V2 feather board I was using had the external WiFi antenna connector. Perhaps that board is not compatible with the Ultimate GPS Featherwing. When I changed boards with another that did not have the external WiFi connector, it worked enough to get the GPS messages.

I should have tried that before!

Just to clarify the hardware - you're using the same GPS Featherwing, and it is *not* working with this Feather:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/5438
but *is* working with this Feather:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/5400
with everything else the same? Same sketch? Same board selected in Arduino IDE? etc.
