Subject: Fix for BUG #469:  Bad/Empty GPS NMEA strings returned when the
 queries are made in a random wait iterative fashion Fix for BUG #460:  X300:
 GPGGA sensor most often empty, while RMC is usually OK - Added checksum
 verification of NMEA strings - Improved handling of short or malformed
 strings - Fixed GPSDO data synchronization between X300 firmware and host
