Debug Builds: `lora noise test` changes one thing at a time, Sweeps the
band, and reports the floor under each condition; it runs on the device
by itself, since one condition pauses Wi-Fi (not saved, so a restart
brings it back). Result, at 125 kHz: -117 dBm with the antenna switched
off, -106 with the GNSS receiver in standby, -98 with it running. The
receiver's serial line isn't it (one sentence a second changes nothing),
and neither are the main loop, the CPU frequency, Wi-Fi, the screen or
the radio's own regulator, all within 1 dB.
Settings > "Pause GNSS for LoRa", off by default: the receiver waits in
standby while the radio listens or sweeps, except during a Track, and
has a Fix again about 7 s after. The GNSS App says it's paused.
11 dB remain between the antenna with GNSS quiet and the chip alone,
untouched by anything that can be switched from the firmware.

`r` in the GNSS App (or `gnss track start|stop`) records a Track to
/gnss/tracks/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.gpx: a point every 5 s once moved 5 m
(lib/gnss/track, 7 tests: haversine, the rule, GPX text, the file name).
It keeps recording with the App closed, shows REC in the Status Bar, and
announces start and stop with a Toast. It needs a card and the time;
switching GNSS off stops it. Tracks are written like Captures: past 90 %
card usage, until full. Storage Clean-up gets a GNSS tracks category.
A Track cut short by a reset or power loss has no GPX footer; the GNSS
Service closes such files at the next boot.
Verified on the device: a recorded Track and one interrupted by a reset
both parse as GPX 1.1 on the PC.

Position: the Fix line (or how long it has been searching), latitude and
longitude in decimal degrees or degrees-minutes-seconds (Settings ->
Coordinates), the Maidenhead locator, altitude, speed and course, HDOP
and UTC. Sky: the satellites by azimuth and elevation, coloured by
constellation, filled when used in the Fix, with used/in-view counts.
Tab switches. lib/gnss/geo_format holds the formatting, the locator and
the sky projection, host-tested (6 tests; locators checked against
FN31pr and JN58td).
Verified on the device by a window: 3D Fix from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo
and BeiDou.
