If you followed the ser #1 build it was using a here3 from holybro. 

the manual from the cubepilot site explains setting up the GPS for canbus.

States:

Connect the HERE3 CAN connector to CAN1 port on autopilot. Connect to Mission Planner and go to “UAVCAN” tab. Click “SLCan Mode CAN1” to load CAN GPS status.

Click “Menu>Update” to check available updates. Update the HERE3 firmware to version 1.6.

Well I was never able to get the canbus to reveal the gps rev. My research lead me to a dead end. Asking questions on the forums got nothing. 

So thinking i would take another crack at it i purchased a brand new pixhawk 4 so i could learn the canbus setup and again the same result. The canbus running slcan just didn't work.

The mission is to setup a base and signal transmission station for accuracy,  Well i guess not today. Today I am purchasing a ublox 9 gps antenna that says canbus to try that 

of course the research on can bus will continue.   here is a nice nugget, appears the support for the project actually never was
