Setting up the Rpi 3B+ with the Microchip RN2903A click from MicroE

In my humble opinion, that device is a poor choice for the application. Yes you might get it to work but a raw LoRa module such as Hopes RFM9x or Dorji DRF127x are easy to drive and much more flexible.

For some examples of using LoRa for this type of GPS tracking take at my own Github;

There are test reports, code and build instructions.

A basic tracker and portable receiver with display will run on a humble Arduino Pro Mini, but if you wanted to integrate LoRaWAN\TTN into this then you need a board with more Flash and memory.
