Note

The GPS sensor is sent by ardupilot and is not created by the yaapu script, this implies that GPS coordinates are available even when the yaapu scripts are not running

GPS coordinates can be shown in a dedicated telemetry screen while the yaapu script is running in another one.

By configuring the yaapu script to run on screen1 we can, for instance, select screen2 to display GPS coordinates
