Does this mean i have to leave my GPS on all the time?

Thanks!
I set mine staggered.
-When I get to my home GPS location, it turns Wifi on, period. (Called this 'Enable Home')
-Then when it connects to my home network, it changes all of my settings to whatever I want home to be. Including turning GPS off. (This is my actual 'Home' context, so while I am at my house the GPS is always off)
-Then whenever I leave my 'Home' context (ie, exit the radius of my specific home wifi network connection) it turns GPS back on. And when I leave the general area, it turns Wifi off.

Hope this helps.
