for the mobile ones how about (lat, long, altitude [what unit ?],
[define a format for bearing], speed [what unit ?])

for future compatability what would be a good set of units for space

(I forget who, but someone is planning on sending a mobile exploration
vehicle to [ ?? mars ?? ] , and letting it be controlled from earth.)
