At the very least it should be in the GPS submenu and not in Settings. Then again, there is under "Dive Management, the option "Enable auto cloud sync". Is this a setting? It turns out these distinctions are actually not black and white.

I really liked having the GPS service at the top level - to make sure it's visible that it's on (it drains the battery - not a lot, but some).

I could help with icons but Joakim has been so efficient with his icons I would prefer him do this. 2) For the location service to be useful at all, the user must be able to easily see whether it is active or not, even on the main menu. This is why the previous arrangement with a checkbox on the main menu was very useful. Is it possible to have an icon in the Android icon bar at the top of the screen?

That's totally non-obvious to me. I always thought that was a poor choice on Google's part.

THAT I like. Make the icon gray like all the other ones when not active, and accent color when active.
