I wish there was a way to truly STOP the GPS driver when you weren't using the chip... save battery... then start the driver when you needed it...
Have you tried turning off the gps in the application you are running, IE after I finish with Google Maps, I uncheck "use gps" before closing it, after that i can open any application and use gps without fail.
