Feature suggestion (Pause when not in car dock mode)

I mentioned this in my review but thought I'd raise it here as well. I like this widget a lot, but it kind of burns my battery to have it pinging the gps all the time. I know I can manually pause it, but I often forget to do that. Would it be possible to create a user selectable option to have the widget actuate when it was in car dock mode and then pause when it's not in that mode?

I mostly use the widget to track mileage in my car, so it would be really handy not to have to think about that.

TIA,

JL

Hello,

Thanks for your feature suggestion, I'll have a look.
Meanwhile you can do the same (and much more) using an "automatic profile" application like "setting profiles" or "llama" (look them up in the market): you can set it up to activate gps when in car, for example.

Any feature suggestion? Something you wish to be implemented in a new version?
And... translations for new strings would be really appreciated :)
Otherwise statistics will be english-only.

Hello, first of all, congratulations for your widget, it's super!!!

I have you one suggestion for Gmail, but I will write here too.

I will like, si possible, have somes "vehicles" for the widget, so I can save total and partial mileage of any of them (with one or plus widgets in the screen of phone).

I will like it because I have some cars, and 2 of them it's odometer not work, and I need write in a paper the mileage that I run every time I drive them, for change the oil and make it's mainteinance at intervals neccesaires.

Many thanks, again for your app, and cheers from Spain.

Hello!
Thanks for your feedback. I've added your suggested feature to my todo list, but I can't guarantee I'll have time to develop it soon. I do not have a lot of free time and have many features in the todo list ;-)
