GPS functionality
The main functionality of the built-in GPS receiver is to regularly get a current
timestamp for setting the Mini-batcorder date and time.
Since the GPS module does roughly triples the power consumption it is only
in normal mode (always on) if the Mini-batcorder is not in stealth mode. Then
it acquires a new position every minute. If the accuracy (PDOP) is increased
in regards to the latest dataset in the logfile a new entry is added.
if in stealth mode the GPS is is turned off after one hour regardless its state.
