Turning off location detection disables access for last know position for a map. I would like to stop only gps, not diasble access for last known position to applications.
And one more nearly offtopic question. Today I tried to use gps with osmscout and sensor status. I was not able to get fix for a long time. More than one hour. After I got fix with Sensor status, it looked like osmscout still is not aware of the position. I also tried to reboot the phone and the status was the same. Senserstatus had fix and osmscout did not know where I am. Is not this information global for all apllications?
