[Xastir] An idea for pos error correction

Occasionally, I get positions that have been corrupted, where the 
apparent position of a station is WAY off the map.  Now, I know that 
WD5IYT-2 hasn't run off onto Kansas; it's a digi.  So, for those 
stations being displayed, could the positions be tracked (since the info 
display shows several previous positions), and any outlandish positions 
be dropped?  It'd sure clean up the trails.  I can see where it would 
eat memory like a Great White potentially; but maybe the database would 
be already available?  Sounds like a fuzzy logic solution...

Just thinking, letting the coffee sink in...
