Option to send location with pings.

[Cyberes]

It would be nice to have an option to send location data with pings. I know it kind of defeats the purpose of lightweight pinging, but I would like to ensure that nothing goes wrong between the tracker and the server and locations don't get missed due to factors outside our control.

i would like this option as well. my cell plan has quite a lot of data so i have no reason to conserve it with locationless pings

@stanleyhuangyc would this be something you'd be interested in looking at? I took a look at the code but my skillset isn't with C/embedded programming so it's out of my league unfortunately.

I tried to implement something based off of this commit: soshial@f5c052c

But the current codebase has changed since then and I don't have enough experience with C.

This is possible to implement but will more likely to drain car battery.

[Cyberes]

That's fine, just keep it off by default.

@stanleyhuangyc what do you think about having a configurable interval to send location data when the device/car is parked and in sleep mode. I'm thinking something like once an hour.
