It is reporting the GSM signal level from the protocol v2 car firmware message ‘F’.
OVMS v3 will provide the wifi signal level in that field, should networking be over wifi at that time.
Probably better to label it ’Signal’ rather than ‘GSM’.

I've noticed for awhile but never asked the question; why does the IOS app report wifi signal strength when I'm connected to wifi as gsm signal strength? I would expect gsm to always be gsm and maybe wifi would also be shown (and identified as such) when present. Note that I run my modules in wifi client-only mode.
I still don't understand the dBm value reported by the iphone app. For my dev module (sitting on a desk in a spare bedroom), gsm is reported (via the cellular command) as -87, wifi saw -17.4 (it's 2m from the AP). But the app says -113 dBm! It's way off... (New screen grabs attached.) Craig
