GPS positioning, not very precise #1

I've let the board run for a while at a stationary position. It seems to move about, I assume this might be a GPS issue, but I have a feeling it might be the conversion from GPS Coordinates to APRS packet format. It's not TOO far off but will test this further.

I have added some kind of position Validation to the Code. Maybe this helps to stop the jumping positions?

We could further check for a low hdop Value. But with bad GPS Rx conditions this would lead to no Beacon Tx at all. Please test the updated code and let me know.

After leaving the tracker and the IGATE for a few hours, it seems like the tracking now is a bit more precise with the new code.
