Is it possible to modify Timeriffic to also turn GPS on/off on a schedule? That way people who like to leave GPS off can have it set to "check in" via GPS on a scheduled basis, so if the phone is lost/stolen, and GPS was off, they know they can use their tracking app at a specific time of day to get a reading of it's location.
Thanks for the feedback. It's not on our roadmap, but I will add to our wishlist. That's another service that might make sense. I can't comment on the ability for an app to control it as you described via the SDK but we can look.
