Cleanup: fix printGPSCoords signature and leaks
The printGPSCoords() function returns a copied C-style string. Since the owndership is transferred to the caller, the correct return type is "char *" instead of "const char *". Thus a number of casts when calling free can be removed. Moreover a number of callers didn't free the string and thus were leaking memory. Fix them. Ultimately we might want two versions of the function: one for QString, one for C-style strings. Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
