[Maemo 5] Fast GPS enabler?
 

Hi!

Is there already way to enable/disable GPS fast, without going to settings?

Perhaps a button to the desktop or dropdown menu.

not quite understand what you want... do you want to use GPS without gprs connection?

nope just faster way to enable/disbale gps without going setting.

Gps is possible to disable fast from dropdown menu but if you want to enable gps you have to go to settings.

so what i want it similar button like bluezwitch.

The default Nokia widget that has positioning has a power button under it. Clicking it enables GPS.

and it only takes up [nearly] half a desktop

Do you want this for battery saving purposes? I think it would only save a very small amount of battery of it's off. It doesn't use that much power when it's on and idling. Maybe you can ask the Advanced-interface-switcher dev to integrate it in there.

Alright then :)

Several apps can be added to the desktop that start and stop GPS: Maps, several mapping apps that are faster, camera, several gps trackers.

Since once everyone stops using GPS the daemon powers it down, it's not hard.

And, for the record, I am dedicating half a desktop for this. It's so cool.

As for integrating into interface switcher, I see little reason. It uses nothing when off, it's auto-closing when not needed, I don't see the problem.

OP: Did you enable positioning on your chat/messaging accounts? That would keep GPS active. Set location position to "not show" and you're golden.
