Description
Can we store the last known GPS position as static file on shutdown of GPS services, this would allow people to do a lazy lookup of the approximate location of the device based on last GPS usage.
This would be useful for smaller applications that don't need high accuracy but wish to tailor their interface/response to the user based on approximate location. Think time / weather applets that you would want powering up GPS all the time and attempting to get a fix while the device is in your pocket.
This would not have to be persistent across reboots or anything silly I was just thinking of a simple way to store the phone's last approximate location during normal usage (assuming GPS is used normally).

Hmm, maybe using GSM cells to locate the phone is a better alternative? In any case this would need to go in olocationd. Providing last known GPS position with timestamp could make sense..
