Implementation GPS parse script to pi-star. #25

Hi. It can be a nice idea to implement decode all GPS/SMS data on the fly outgoing from pi-star. How I can move your gps_data.py on MMDVM HS or Repeater controller. To work without HBlink ? In cases when you have a poor network between pi-star and HB link. But u still need to get GPS data from your radios and forward it in some kind of dashboard?

The MMDVM stuff is written in C, and hblink is written in Python, so it would a difficult, if not impossible task to integrate the Python code directly into MMDVMHost.

You could install hblink on your Pi-Star, then connect your pi-star to localhost. MMDVM connections would have to be setup and managed in hblink rather than pi-star, but you would have all the GPS stuff then.
