Whose GPS Status?
When I search for GPS Status in Play Store, I am offered:
GPS Status & Toolbar  MobWIA - EclipseSim  4.5
GPS Status Test & Fix - No A:  Mark Pfluger  4.1
GPS Status PRO = (legacy key) MobWIA - EclipseSim  4.7
GPS Status  Pizza Entertainment  4.1
GPS Status  espresso3389  4.1
and 50+ other apps.

I sometimes have GPS location issues and NOW know that it is possible to
check signal quality.
