David,
For the purpose of placing devices on a world map a 6-position
gridsquare should be minimal and enough.
People wanting to send a more exact position can do it, but a 4-position
grid square is IMHO not sufficient. So for the moment, the receiving
side truncates the locator to 6 positions and converts that one to a
lon/lat value (the center of the subsquare).
Let me get this map running first and we will see where we go from there.
