   This sample code demonstrates how to use an array of TinyGPSCustom objects
   to monitor all the visible satellites.

   Satellite numbers, elevation, azimuth, and signal-to-noise ratio are not
   normally tracked by TinyGPSPlus, but by using TinyGPSCustom we get around this.

   The simple code also demonstrates how to use arrays of TinyGPSCustom objects,
   each monitoring a different field of the $GPGSV sentence.

   It requires the use of SoftwareSerial, and assumes that you have a
   4800-baud serial GPS device hooked up on pins 4(RX) and 3(TX).
