GPS signal / satellite status; 4G signal status

General Discussion
#1

Is there any way to get the GPS and 4G stats? Doesn’t need to be loggable or anything, current value would be useful enough - i’m trying to find an installation spot, and it’s kinda hard to do that without knowing what the reception of the radios is like…
