I haven't checked whether this is possible, but it would make usage really 
easy if it can be done. A setting to allow bluetooth gps capability would 
advertise the serial port when bluetooth is enabled, but the GPS would only be 
requested when another device connected to the bluetooth. That way gps is 
available if required whenever bluetooth is switched on, but not actually 
using power unless something is using it. You just need to turn bluetooth on 
and off through Quick Settings, rather than looking for the app or digging 
into the settings each time. The setting that controls this should be 
available under both the gps and bluetooth areas of the settings app as both 
are logical places for a user to look.
