[Ovmsdev] GPS request from vehicles

[Michael Balzer]

Mark,

see https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/pull/166

…and followup commits bbb6885ef0f045867a4aaf18488157a6f9de56ea & d28110930af98073d18368311e42a30e72a87387

tl;dr: the user should be in control over this (and now is).

Regards,
Michael
