Ahh, thanks! That's so stupid! Looks like I made a typo isGPSOn vs isGPSon - and so my grepping failed!

So it turns out that widgps was hiding the real implementation!

Then i found that in android.settings.json the key "overwriteGps" was set to true.

I've just checked into this - I could be wrong, but I can't see how it could have got enabled unless you'd enabled it.

I'd have hoped you'd have seen messages like t: "gps_power", status: true } too, from https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/blob/master/apps/android/boot.js#L215

The frustrating thing is that when disconnected, it should work as normal - but the second you connect to see what's going on it would switch to the Gadgetbridge mode.

There is a PR for some changes to this at https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/pull/2473 but I wanted to take a bit of time to look into it before merging...

The PR does not fix the behaviour when the GB side is configured not to provide GPS events. At least not yet. Can we check if a GB setting is set? Then it would be easy to integrate a check and prevent this situation. If we can not check the settings, maybe the app should send it's GPS setting state to the bangle when the gps_power message arrives?
