[drats_users] [D-RATS] #197: Show all gps position reporta on map

[Arnold Harding]

Unfortunately I'm busy with other home projects, but the attached 
picture might help explain.

Is there some way later I can capture the data I have for the map and 
send to you to somehow see?  Probably not, but I thought I'd ask.
Again, this is LOW priority.  I think the real release is more 
important.
