Would it be possible to add Bangle.getGPSPower() and Bangle.getHRMPower() in v2.09 of the firmware.
These would be useful for ensuring that the right decision is made in Apps.

For example
```
if (Bangle.getGPSPower() == false) {
     // only need to turn on the GPS if it is switched off
     Bangle.setGPSPower(true);
}

Bangle.on('GPS', print);
```

Yes - there's an issue open for this which I hope to address soon: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/issues/1971

Hopefully the solution there is a bit more flexible and backwards compatible too.

But note that in the case you show, it doesn't hurt to call setGPSPower twice. I don't know if you saw but I made some changes to GPSService that should help out with other apps for now.

Also, just fixed that issue above - so latest cutting edge firmwares now have getGPSPower. However that won't be much use to us until 2v09 is released and enough people have it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
