Not currently, but it's one of the things I want to add as part of a
larger set of features that let you pull forms (, etc) from another
station.  The way ping works, its really intended to solicit a response
from a remote station that can be directed at the caller.  Since the GPS
stuff is defined outside the scope of the rest of the D-RATS protocol,
it doesn't make much sense to use it there.

However, there will be a way to say "tell me where you are right now".

Okay, well you never sent me a debug log after I made a couple tweaks
for you in the late 0.2.8 betas.  Send me another where it is going from
locked to unlocked and I'll see what else is throwing it off. :)
