In a simplest yet most usefull version tracker will show information
about starting (take off) point. No extra frames will be required in
telemetry. You just have to store GPS coordinates during take off
(RCGS power up) and then calculate distance/heading to this start
point from incoming GPS coordinates.

Following arbitrary  waypoint course - yes, leave it for version 2.
But tracking to take off point is probably the most helpful
information derived from GPS coordinates. I'd strongly suggest to
have it in version 1.
