Display GPS coordinates on their own line #2473

About the PR

Moves GPS coordinates to their own line, after the text "Coords:".

Why / Balance

With the newish action bar, the previous single-line approach frequently resulted in hard-to-read coordinates. In particular, if the Y-coordinate is negative, the minus sign has a tendency to stay on the first line while the rest migrates to the second. It's much too easy to miss it and send people on a wild goose chase. Especially problematic considering Frontiersmen usually read their coordinates when they're lost and time is of the essence.

How to test

  1. Hold GPS or PDA with the AstroNav app.
  2. Behold coordinates.
