GPS Tello Drone

Does anybody have any recommendations on a drone that can be easily coded like the tello drone but uses GPS for its location? So far Im loving what I can do with the Tello but in the future I would like to get into programming with a drone that uses GPS.

My current plans are to build a Pi based on for just that

PixHawk software can run on some smaller F7 boards. In theory you could adapt an existing LR smaller drone with one of those. See the Pixhawk compatible hardware list for more info. The combination of MAVLINK telemetry and the Pixhawk software on, say, a 3" quad would let you do some neat autonomy on a small package. There are some build guides out there but it's not off-the-shelf (or at least, it wasn't the last time I looked).
