Controlling the GPS

To minimize battery usage, Radar Alive! turns on the GPS only about 10 seconds out of every four minutes. However, the option exists to disable this GPS usage for further battery savings.The display of the location symbol on the map is also controllable.

To access these controls, use the Android context menu (hit the menu button or icon):
