Connect GPS On/Off

[Augures]

Good morning,

Do you think it is possible to have a manager of a communications On / Off for GPS?
thank you.

Explain in details what do you expect.
GPS now turns on when you connect to COM4, and turns off, when you disconnect. Nice and easy - and fully automagic. What more would you expect from this behaviour?

Thank you very much for your answer Jakubd.
I read the notice in full, but I could not find the information. No more than on the forum.
So I thought it would have been good to be able to close or turn GPS since the manager of communication. Simply and wondering if the function there.

But thank you for your help. And also thank you to everyone for this great forum.

Good day ..

Yes this is how I understand it works as well. I can see the benefit of having it a toggle though because if it is always running you wouldnt have to wait for it to find a satellite :) But that wouldnt matter much since you would be out of battery power. But you know, maybe making some kind of bat file that toggles and launches your gps program second may save you a little wait time.

If you want GPS always on (and looking for sats), use GPSGate.

But as you said, expect more batter drain.

I think it would be good to have like in 3G case, an option to put on/off GPS, sometimes go into programs that use GPS to setup that program and don't want to use the GPS funtionality in that moment but the GPS connects when you enter the program and if we need many time to configure the program the battery dissapear.

Anybody knows an app that it has this functionality?

Thanks.
