Cool Re: I want to use Kitchen for 6800 but don't want GPS

The GPS chip on the device is a passive receiver. It does not transmit anything unless a specific software program is monitoring the passive incoming signal from the geosynchronous sats.

The only reason to disable it permanently in the ROM is if you think it has any bearing on power consumption. I am not aware that it runs unless polled. So that is not usually an issue.
