[Ovmsdev] Internal GPS now available

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Michael,

Brilliant! That is:
https://github.com/markwj/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/issues/72
that I've been trying to find time to get around to for a long time now.

Your implementation looks good, and I'll try to merge it in with the mainline code. I'll also try to bring in your Twizy code, as it is today, as well.

Regards, Mark.

I intend to use the altitude to calculate a better energy usage / range estimation, as the Twizy estimation drops too fast when driving uphills.
