[time-nuts] Averaging Location for Position Hold

[jmfranke]

The position is solely defined by the location of the antenna. Once all of 
the satellite signals enter the antenna, the time differences are fixed, 
only the absolute time changes. The GPS receiver computes the position of 
the antenna using time differences. The coax cable length can affect the 
time, unless compensated for the propagation delay.
