Hi All, I use this feature all the time, only yesterday in-fact. Yet to load dives from yesterday that will be done today sometime. Also lots of other people I know really like the GPS tagging but of course not a lot of boat diving going on in the last 18 months, 99.9% of these people aren't on the mailing list or check the Google group.
Very few people have dive computers that record GPS position. It is such a great feature to be able to set the phone going and then just leave it in the dry bag and concentrate on the rest of the dive & not have to worry about touching it again on a rocking boat until getting back to shore! I don't build mobile or side load mobile app at present (I only compile for desktop atm). So I would say don't take the code out and I would side load to be able to keep the GPS features.
