Ok, AFAIR talking to matt we need more than this. We need track numbers
and stuff to do line extraction, and data for later dgps resoving. To
clear this up, how does this scheme look where we ignore exactly
how lat/long is stored (eg two columns or in a Point or what).

lat float not null
long float not null
alt float not null
hor_dilution float
vert_dilution float
track num bigint
quality byte
satellites (type spec for this?)
timetamp long
time_dilution int
uid bigint not null

?

have fun,
