UnofficialGPS is the same as the official / default GPS plugin. But instead of using bettercap as a dependency for handling our GPS data. Plugin is sufficient for itself, it reads serial (ex: /dev/ttyACM0) and parse GPS data directly from a thread.

UnofficialGPS is the same plugin as the official / default / included GPS plugin (gps.py) for pwnagotchi.
But this time, instead of using bettercap as a dependency for handling our GPS data,
plugin will read serial (ex: /dev/ttyACM0) and parse GPS data directly from a separate thread.
I wrote this as the gps through bettercap was not working well for me, but was perfectly fine from command line.
It may help people with similar issues.
This plugin require pySerial python module that can be installed using:
sudo pip3 install pySerial(and NOT serial, those are not the same modules /!).
No python module for the GPS data parsing (ex: nmea2) is required, as I wanted to be as direct as possible, and not rely on anything.
Only problem is, I don't know if pwnagotchi plugins supports dependencies declaration ?
