Is there a way in Android 4.4 to activate (on/off) the GPS in only one tap on Nexus 4?

Now I use a shortcut to arrive at the GPS menu (first tap/first picture)

first picture

then click on/off (second tap/second picture)

second picture

then accept Google position option (third tap/third picture)

third picture

Is there a way to start/stop GPS in a shorter way?

Open the settings shortcut menu (two-finger swipe from the top of the screen) then long-press the "Location" setting. That's only two actions.

The Android Power Control widget has been part of the base Android setup since version 2.1.

While the icons can vary by OS version and manufacturer, by and large it has five buttons that give you quick access to enable/disable WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Sync, and also gives quick access to the screen brightness settings.

If that's not to your taste, there are plenty of other widgets in the Play Store that add more—or fewer—buttons

  • After tap on GPS icon I have to tap on/off then accept Google conditions on position. So I have to tap three times with this one

  • Not on my phone, so take that as you will. As I mentioned, there are dozens of apps/widgets in the Play Store.
