Q: Can this module run on a raspberry pi? i know the specs say 3.6v minimum, but the pi uses 3.3v logic.

Updated comment: I was powering the Vcc pin of the board from the 3.3 volt pin of a Raspberry Pi. I found the GPS performance of the board to be very poor with few satellites detected and frequent position loss. I switched the to powering the Vcc pin from the 5 volt Raspberry Pi pin. Performance is now excellent. Although indoors, the unit maintains an almost constant 3D position lock. Apparently, the Vcc pin needs at least 3.6 volts to regulate properly to 3.3volts needed by the internal GPS module. The 3.3 volts from the Pi is not sufficient for the on-board voltage regulator to pass the 3.3 volts through to the module. If using a Pi, power the unit from +5 volts! This does not affect the other I/O pins on the GPS board at all, as they all run at 3.3 volts.

Q: How long do we wait until it loads? Not sure if I should wait more than 10 minutes? Or less..

The GPS module works immediately. The GPS fix can take time depends on the last satellite that the module he registered. After the first time, it acquires it fix very quickly. If the GPS is not in use for several days, it can retake time to obtain a position fix. To get a faster position fix, make sure you have an unobstructed view of the sky. (The LED blinks when the GPS have a good signal and a position fix.)

Q: This will be mounted inside a waterproof enclosure. Which side of the antenna should be positioned up for optimal performance?

For best reception, the pc board side of the antenna should be down and the antenna should be a high as possible in the waterproof container (hopefully not metal). GPS relies on radio reception so the antenna has to "see" the sky as much as possible. There are larger antennas available if this one doesn't work out well inside the enclosure.

Q: how many hz update speed?

The update speed of this GPS Module is 5Hz.
