My Location on/off program...

Insoc · #1 (**permalink**) 11-30-2008, 02:29 PM

Hello all!

I like to have my location off most of the time, but when I need to use GPS I turn it on.

Does anyone know of an program where I can just press an on/off button for it, instead of navigating the phone settings all the time, I feel a button would be much nicer then having to look at WM Settings everytime...

If I could code, I would do it myself...

There's a program called mortscript. It is very easy to make a small macro that will switch your location settings.

You could make it yourself even if you have limited programming knowledge!

I am going to play with the Mortscript. Although I am a complete novice with scripts, I believe I could figure it out.

It's pretty easy to use. Does that .cab work for you?

Honestly I can't tell.

I installed the cab and did a soft reset, however it does not make any changes to the "My Location" setting. I am not sure if it is working or not.

It shuts down the services, so you will not see the changes when you go to "My Location Settings".

You can test it out by using the gps tool, turning it off, and then try running a GPS program like google or something.

It is mortscript compatible too. You can have the script call gpstool to turn it on and off. I think it was gpstool /off /on

When I select "my location" on google maps it says my device is not compatible with that feature.

They all say that. Instead of clicking "My location" just go to the menu & click "use GPS". That will work & does the same thing......
