I had a look at the code. Unfortunately the code has been checked in mimified so it is hard to make out what it does. I can see that it turns on the power to the GPS at some point but under what conditions is anyones guess. Really needs a little README file for instructions.

Hi - there's actually a README in the latest version which'll be updated soon.

But basically GPS is turned on as soon as you start BangleRun, so you just have to wait for it to get a fix. If you haven't used GPS since the battery went flat it can take a while (maybe even 10 minutes) to get a GPS lock, but you can install the 'Assisted GPS' app which will load the GPS with up to date info, which cuts down the time to get a lock significantly: https://banglejs.com/apps/#agps

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.
