Re: Is there a way to allow an app to "wake up" the GPS?

For those that are interested, the way I tested was to charge the Treo up all the way, ensured all apps were closed via the taskmanager, turned on the GPS, and let the phone sit for 12 hours. I then did the same thing only with the GBS Radio off (in 911 mode), and noticed no difference in the % battery charge after 12 hours.
Hope this helps
