Shazron Abdullah updated CB-509:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.7.0)
1.8.0
Not going to resolve this until 1.8.0 with the new implementation, since adding
the stopLocation interface does not really fix this bug, but is a work-around.
In 1.7.0, you can do this for iOS:
{code}
cordova.exec(null, null, "Location", "stopLocation", []);
{code}
Work-around commit:

> geolocation.clearWatch doesn't shut the GPS down under iOS

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Andrea Zicchetti
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: CDVLocation, battery, clearWatch, gps, shutdown,

> Calling navigator.geolocation.clearWatch doesn't shut the GPS down.
> It's no longer possible to manually invoke geolocation.stop() (and thus the
> corresponding stopLocation function in CDVLocation), which was a temporary
> solution with previous phonegap/cordova versions.
> It's quite a problem because an application using the GPS even for a short
> amount of time will completely drain the battery in a few hours.
