Clarify GPS Signal Strength

[haslinghuis]

Only show GPS Signal Strength when GPS is active.

Currently when having SatInfo and powering off the GPS configurator only shows last frozen state.

Resetting data won't show values - we can show an informational message like:

UPDATE:

Would it make more sense to re-initialize the values upon disconnect or GPS-not-powered state?

looks good, but i have no real GPS to test.

Do not want to make it to complicated. Thinking about it perhaps we should have a second message - but requires keeping state.

1. At startup when no signal data has been received as GNSS has not been detected yet we show the message above.
2. When loosing signal after being detected we show a message like

The GNSS unit is no longer recognized.

This should probably be a 4.6 new feature. It is an improvement but could introduce unexpected issues, and will require testing that would delay 4.5.

Hi Mark... checking this now - does it need rebasing? Seems to work, when I test it, and the message is useful.

Perhaps the text could say:

Connecting...
The GPS icon lights up when Betaflight is connected to a GPS module.  This usually takes a couple of seconds.<br>
It will be red at first, then change to yellow when it gets a 3D fix.<br>
If the GPS icon does not light up, check your wiring and configuration, and confirm that the GPS module is receiving power.<br>
The CLI "status" command provides more information about the state of the GPS connection.

That last line is optional and perhaps unnecessary, whatever you think.

Just checking the PR again...
There is a bit of pale grey space under the 'yellow' of the 'Connecting...' note - maybe that can be removed?

Also, I wonder if some tiny simplifications, and wider line spacing, may improve readability:

The GPS icon lights up only when the connection to the GPS module is confirmed.<br>
<br>
It will be red at first, changing to yellow when the 3D fix is attained.<br>
<br>
If the GPS icon does not light up, check your wiring and configuration, and confirm that the GPS module is receiving power.<br>
<br>
The CLI 'status' command provides more information about the state of the GPS connection.

I like the last more simple message, and for sure the idea.
