BTStack GPS: Disconnecting every 10 minutes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Opening BTStack GPS 1.7.3 and connecting to external GPS module
2. Opening Navigation app
3. Running both apps (with BTStack GPS in the background) for up to 10 minutes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was using BTStack GPS on iOS 5. I updated my iOS to version 6.1.2 and then 
BTStack GPS started to disconnect every 10 minutes or less. It initially 
connects fine and also reconnects fine. The only problem is the regular 
disconnecting.

It looks to be a backgrounding issue as when I return to the BTStack GPS app it 
starts again as if I've only just launched it.

If you can fix this, I would be very grateful!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
BTStack GPS 1.7.3
iOS 6.1.2

What iOS device do you use?

While this does not happen on my devices, I've received enough reports from 
users. I've been looking into various backgrounding options and hope to change 
to one that works on all devices.

Hi.

Sorry for being a little ignorant, but how do I install the *.deb file on to my 
iPad?

Thank you for your work!

If you have iFile installed, you can open the link in Safari and then "open in 
iFile" and then "install".

Hi.

Sorry for the delay.

I notice that you've recently posted an official update on Cydia.

Should I still install the file linked in this thread or does the official 
release supersede this?

Thank you.

I've got a confirm from one user that the newer version fixes his problem and 
published this exact file on Cydia. So, you're free to pick, but the Cydia 
update option will be easier  :)
