New Feature: Tool for visualizing gps trajectory and states display #155

Hi, I've been using your ros package for a year and always didn't find a good way to visualize as Swift Console did. Hence, I wrote a browser-based GPS trajectory visualizer, which can subscribe to your topics and visualize in the map in real time, and will show different color w.r.t to current speed. I also made a panel to show fix mode, satellite number, etc. I think this could be a more convenient tool for visualization than converting to kml followed by displaying in google earth, and also more straightforward than just showing numbers from rqt_gps_rtk_plugin. Can you please take a look? and I'm wondering if my tool could be integrated into this repo, since l believe this will benefit a lot for visualization purpose. Any opinion is welcomed, thanks! https://github.com/ziliHarvey/GPS-Browser-Visualizer

Nice tool! I linked your project to the README.md. But I don't think we will have it as part of this repo because we are rather looking to thin the repo out to make it easier to use.
