Hi all,

I am trying to turn on/off gps setting using cordova/phonegap.I have gone through all the materials that are available on internet but no result.Only I got some comments on it.I have got some materials on for native android code and full source code also.The same question asked earlier also many times but someone has shared their experience on this.Below links provide some idea but not completely....

Hello steve,

I have gone through your article but I have one question Are you able to turn on or off system gps setting using cordova/android code.

Thanks,

No, Cordova cannot change the user's system GPS settings. You'll need to kindly ask the user to do so himself.

Hi,

Remember that you can only enable and Disable the GPS, If the Security in the device allows it. If the user has not allowed your app to use Geolocation (iOS) or the GPS is not on all together. There is no way of changing that setting from code.. It is on the User to allow for the location service to be used. 

Anything else I would consider hacking ;-)

Then I misunderstood your question. My article implements location and turning it on and off with buttons. It doesn't turn off the device's GPS, sorry.
