User wants to keep GPS active while connected to Bluetooth or in car mode.

I would like to better understand the use cases for this so I can implement the 
most useful solution.  I can start a GPS listener.  It will inform A2DP Volume 
when a new GPS location is captured.  However, other apps would have to be 
listening for passive locations to get updates I think.  I can also request 
updates at a certain rate.  What rate should that be?  Read this topic for more 
info: 
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/index.html 
and 
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/obtaining-user-location.html

When requesting locations updates, the first parameter in 
requestLocationUpdates() is the type of location provider to use (in this case, 
the Network Location Provider for cell tower and Wi-Fi based location). You can 
control the frequency at which your listener receives updates with the second 
and third parameter—the second is the minimum time interval between 
notifications and the third is the minimum change in distance between 
notifications—setting both to zero requests location notifications as 
frequently as possible. The last parameter is your LocationListener, which 
receives callbacks for location updates.

Do any of these need to be configurable?  If so, what?  It all depends on how 
you want to use the information.  I need to better understand how this feature 
will be used.  It is so that your Google maps Latitude location is more 
up-to-date?  It is to keep good location data so A2DP Volume can capture a 
better car location when you stop? Is there some other reason to keep GPS 
active?  Is it just GPS or should we be listenign for all location data?

That I want to say, it more simple.
When I'm at hoem or at work, my GPS phone is off.
When I go away, I take my car.
A2DP active my profil, launch waze (my gps application) but my GPS phone will 
be off.
I juste want A2DP active my GPS phone.
Off course, I don"t want this activation in all profils. when I connected my 
headphone at home I don't want GPS.

I juste want a checkbox in device profil, to activate or not, the GPS phone.

Is it possible ?

Jeff

OK, so I think you are wanting this:

Enable GPS when device connects.  Enable means that GPS is ready when an app 
tries to use it.  Some people disable GPS normally to conserve battery 
(although just enabling it has little impact on battery life).  Then when a 
device disconnects, return GPS back to original (see what it was prior to 
connect and then return it back to that after disconnect).  I presume this 
would leave GPS enabled long enough for A2DP Volume to capture a location 
before disabling.  

If that is correct, I understand the use case now and can begin development.  I 
will create another configuration by device.  It will say "enable GPS while 
connected".  When checked in the edit device screen, this will enable the GPS 
when the device connects.  When the device disconnects, it will wait until the 
location capture has completed or times out and then it will return the GPS 
enable state back to what it was prior to the device connecting.

Implemented in 2.6.0 for testing.  I am still waiting for translations for this 
and issue 97 but I will post a test release of 2.6.0.  Once I get translations 
I will make an official 2.7.0 release which will include the new power 
connection device and this feature.  Please test.  You can download the test 
version from the downloads section of this website.
