Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Lock your GPS signal so that the signal is not lost when you are moving around apps, such as maps, navigation or geocaching. Avoid the device to loss the GPS signal, and spend many seconds waiting for a new GPS lock. This app will only require your GPS to turn on, and will leave it on until you request it to unlock the GPS.
