Instead of Reporting GPS Coordinates, Status Messages should be shown on the LCD Display. For example:

If no GPS fix, LCD display "No Satelite Fix" If no microSD card detected, "Please insert microSD Card" Brake Squeal button pressed ... "Brake Squeal Detected" .... etc.

Now, when you say "etc.", what do you mean? Also, microSD card detection would involve another pin, but this is all do-able. Some of these should also lock down certain parts of the program, stalling the program in the set-up and/or skipping parts of the loop code.

"etc" is used to indicate that further, similar items (status messages) could be implemented. The examples listed were just some of the few that came to mind.

I agree that along with these status messages some parts of the program could be stalled and/or skipped.

The main idea is to make the User interface easier for FDP, provide some insight if for some reason they deviate away from how it is supposed to be used.

No, I know what the term "etc" means in a general case; I was wondering what else you might have been thinking to put there. And yes, I agree with this design goals for this issue.

Replaced the GPS-reported coordinates and speed with Status section. Precendence of error messages (so far) is as follows:

Should the need arise for more varied error reporting, such messages can be brought up in another issue.
