[Feature Request]Sending the mobile phone's Azimuth & Elevation together with satellite data through TCP #90

I'm using Look4Sat to control a custom rotator through an application running on a computer. The rotator doesn't have feedback so I can only determine the angle by rotate time multiple rotate speed, which is not precise.

If Look4Sat can send the mobile phone's Azimuth & Elevation together with the satellite data, I could fix the phone on the rotator, then the application can calculate the difference between phone's Az & El and satellite's Az& El and do the corresponding rotation.

For compatibility, it would be better if user can customize the data format.

Thank you!
