Bug Description
The GPS control does not serve a useful purpose. GPS goes into powersave mode when not in use. We already have a setting to use GPS or not.
The toggle in the battery panel falsely implies the user will save more battery by manually managing it and they will not. The removal of the control from the indicator seems to have confused some users who now go through an additional manual step.
iOS as an example does not provide such a control.
