GPS Toggle
 
In the never-ending quest for better battery life, a common suggestion is to turn of the "My Location" setting on the device. It is my understanding that this in essence turns off the GPS functionality of the device (please correct me if I am wrong and this does something else) so whenever you want to use a program such as TeleNAV or Google Maps with GPS you need to navigate to these settings and turn it back on. Is there some program that exists that does these simple changes? It would be nice to place a shortcut to such a program right next to the GPS related ones so its not such a pain to enable. Thanks!

Doesn't the site say that the program is "not needed for the Diamond/TP"? Perhaps the GPS setting locations were remapped?

I d/l, but it is a qvga program so it does not show up good and you need to disable tf3d, maybe in the future this program will be tweaked for vga/3d menu.

Bummer. I wonder if there is some other simply program that doesn't really need a fancy UI interface but is basically a gps on/off button.

here is a file I found in the tero form, it works....it will install a icon in programs called "GPS Tool" then I made a shortcut in the 3d programs menu. I turned GPS off and MS Live could not find the GPS, when I turn GPS on, Live worked fine.
