[TangoGPS] POI coordinates as WGS84 deg and min

[Marcel]

I tried in the "add POI" window with this coordinate:
N 55° 33.144 E 8° 6.278
with or without the degree character (which hasn't made it into illume's 
default keyboard, used ssh -X to test that).
The SQL command executed by tGPS looks like this:

SQL: INSERT INTO poi (idmd5, lat, lon, visibility, cat, subcat, keywords, 
desc, price_range, extended_open) VALUES 
('833501616702973561',0.000000,0.000000,1,1,0,'Leuchtturm 1','',3,0)                                   

So the lat/lon values silently fall to zero, I guess because of the 
characters instead of ciphers in the text input field.
