I saw you're showing QGeoSatelliteInfo.satelliteIdentifier(). However, I don't think this is a good method as you can't tell if a satellite is from GPS or GLONASS (in fact both systems may use identical numbers, so a user might think he sees a satelite two times on the same screen). So my request is to not use the numbers at all but instead use QGeoSatelliteInfo.satelliteSystem() and show a symbol (maybe a USA or russian flag?) associated with the satellite system.

A bit brainstorming how this could work: Maybe instead of colours you could use transparency for signal strength, so the screen could look like this:
IPreview
(without the colours/numbers in the background, this is just lazily photoshopped).

I also just stumbled upon that the Sony XperiaX supporting GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou. So differentiating between satellites of different systems is really something to be done, maybe even with filtering.
It'd also be interesting to see with which systems the phone is currently getting a fix.
