GPS on the Notification panel?

[Guest Neoskidaddle]

This is my first smart phone so I've got a bit to learn. To get decent battery performance I'm in and out of the settings menu all the time, switching the GPS and Use Wireless Networks to find where you are on and off before and after I use Apps. Now the Allow Data function which is also in the Settings menu can be short cut from the Notification Panel, can these other functions be placed in the same place or, it now occurres to me, does this Allow Data function negate the need to adjust any other settings. I wonder?
