Tasker - controlling GPS


Recommended Posts

When I first got Tasker I had it setup to enable the GPS when maps was open. There have been a couple of Tasker updates since then and obviously with Maps 5 out today I opened it up to have a play and Tasker now seems unable to control the GPS saying 'that action is unavailable on this device'. Anyone else had problems with the GPS?

What's odd is it is perfectly happy to use it for a location based context. Just not enable or disable it as a task.

In case anyone ever encounters this in the future, I've just learned that it's caused by disabling Settings (Power Control) using autostarts. Seems tasker uses this to control the GPS even if you've switched to another toggle widget and attempted to disable the built in one cause you don't need it anymore. :lol:
