ORBIT-USER: Global Positioning Service in ORBIT

[Max Ott]

Hi Arinto,

The easiest way to do is to cleanly isolate the GPS service through
and interface, library call, reading from a named pipe (file), or a
command line switch assuming you have fixed nodes. Then you have tow
implementations, one for systems which have GPS (I assume that's what
you have) and then one for fixed systems which read their position
from a config file.

It primarily depends on how you have implemented it so far.
