A GPS device in my RV sends the current coordinates via MQTT to my weewx
server.
The coordinates are displayed with units = None.
Trying to change them to units = degree_compass or units = " °" results in
the below error:

belchertown skin:

This is how it Looks on belchertown skin with units = None, e.g. no change
of units intented.
