<pre class="header-style">The GPS Enabled/Disabled trigger fires when the GPS-based location service is turned on or off on the device. This allows you to automate actions based on changes to the device's GPS/location provider state.</pre>
</pre>
''' Options '''
* '''GPS Enabled''': Trigger fires when GPS/location services are turned ON
* '''GPS Disabled''': Trigger fires when GPS/location services are turned OFF
''' Examples '''
''Example 1: Notification When GPS Disabled''
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
GPS Disabled</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Popup Message - GPS has been disabled</pre>
Shows a popup notification when GPS is turned off.
''Example 2: Start Location Logging When GPS Enabled''
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
GPS Enabled</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Set Variable - gps_enabled = true
Enable Macro - Location Logger</pre>
Sets a variable and enables a location logging macro when GPS is turned on.
''' Notes '''
* This trigger monitors the PROVIDERS_CHANGED_ACTION broadcast from the Android LocationManager.
* It responds to changes in the GPS provider state, not the overall location services setting.
* The trigger fires on state changes, not the current state. Use a GPS constraint if you need to check the current GPS state.
