Is there a way to detect if StartGPSTracking() has already been started to avoid calling StartGPSTracking() every time before getting a GPS point?

if seems it have no return value but you can use a flag
if gps=0
StartGPSTracking
gps=1
endif

if gps=1
StopGPSTracking()
gps=0
endif

Interesting. Why not starting once and leave it going?

i guess to save battery
