i always do testing with display down.

today i added rfkill to all radio emission of the device to my script (which means it switches off wifi and disables network-access this way).

The script i implemented is this:

start in a terminal as root using a small font - the console works best. it uses curses to just display the status of the gps module, the sats seen, the time, the location if available.
