I'd suggest that the unit does not have a temeperature sensor but the firmware reports 30 deg C to maintain compatibility with units (T-Bolt?) that do.

Page 27 of the manual indicates the temperature sensor is fixed at 30
deg C. I'm not sure what exactly it means to have a sensor at a fixed
temperature. I could see the setting being fixed, but not the sensor
itself.
Temperature Sensor
¨ STARLOC II – Value fixed at 30 oC
-----------------
That manual section does refer to the software so could be just meaning the
displayed value but as you're seeing the same in LH etc I assume that is
what's being reported by the Starloc.
I can't see that the sensor itself could be "fixed" either, assuming one
is actually fitted, but suspect the firmware is just preloading that value
into a register or memory location and it doesn't get updated for whatever
reason.
At least you know that what you're seing is as expected.
I don't recognise your GPS numbers but, as commented earlier, some versions
of the starloc at least use the M12.
The Starloc 2 look to be a nice unit.
