Description

Currently you can not tell if the OBS records data or does not because it is in a private area. This can be confising and lead to a false impression that private areas are well defined.

Might be with a small status area, could be combined with GPS stats?

❓ : Error, GPS module not found
🚫 : No GPS reception
Antenna symbol: GPS reception active, might be 2-3 strengths states? All fine, recording as usual
P: inside privacy area, no recording. A crossed 👁️ needs to many pixels I assume.
🔴 : "Waiting for confirmation
🔋 : Low battery state - please switch off (could use a different location in the display to display power state at all time)

Resolution of the display is low - the symbols should not be to detailed.
