or when i get done using igo should i goto settings to disable gps??

this really is awesome because.. astro is launched first, and while igo8 is loading up, astro is priming the gps.. so when im right into igo8's map, gps is already locked on full with high accuracy.
amazing.
As far as I am aware, once you exit iGO8, that is all you need to do. The Vogue's battery will not be drained because of continued use by the gps receiver. You do not need to run Astrolauncher again or go into settings to disable gps.
