A GPS reading function would be relly awesome, for me as it would be for you!
But, then the program runs really unstable.

If there is a fault with the GPS data received from the GPS mouse, the display starts to dim or undim.
The same if there is something wrong with the communication.
That would be relly annoying.

The most stable method is to put in the coordinated manually.

Does it work in when underground or very dark & cloudy?

I know light sensors under $2 do the same thing - whenever it is dark, and without the need for a PC or GPS.
