Research direction

Start by reproducing the GPS parsing behavior in AdafruitClassLibrary.Gps v1.0.7.1 on Windows IoT with the default language set to German, then compare LonDegrees, LatDegrees, and Altitude with the en-US results shown in the debugger. Done means these values, and any other affected GPS values, are correct regardless of the default language.
