Opened the OBD app, and connected to the bluetooth device. It automatically went to the combined mode and started recording, as per configuation. Great! However, I failed to notice that the GPS was turned off, and my travels were recorded without GPS data, rendering them mostly useless.

The app should check that the GPS is turned on before proceeding. Could either automatically turn it on (my preference), or ask for confirmation (non-preferred option - it's just one more annoying question).

Thank you for the suggestion! We will add warning notification that GPS is off, and quick link to turn it on, automatic switching of GPS is bit against Google's guideline, we might consider special "automatic GPS" option in configuration.
