Configure Raspberry Pi+ 3 with 3,5" Touch Screen Display

I just got a cheap 3,5" Raspberry LCD that I ordered from eBay. It seems that when you get a bargain, you get what you order, nothing else. There was no instructions manual nor drivers with the display. Luckily there was a small label printed in LCD box with some information about it:
Driver: ILI9486, Dots: 320x480, Touch:Yes, SKU: MPI3501

After googling I figured out that it's most probably this display:

and the drivers can be downloaded from here:

https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show

After extracting the driver into:
 /home/pi/LCD-show

Open LXTerminal and use commands:
cd LCD-show
./LCD35-show 
and your Raspberry Pi reboots and starts with your 3,5" display.

From 3,5" display back to normal HDMI view open LXTerminal again and use commands:
cd LCD-show
./LCD-hdmi
