GPS

I just got my Droid X this weekend.  After downloading a golf app and trying to use it.  It says to "enable gps."  I can't figure out how to do it.  Any Help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Frank

I was just looking in the "settings" area of my X where I thought there was a place to toggle the GPS on and off and I can't find it now.

 

No matter, though. Find a large enough open spot on one of your screens, long-press the screen, and the widgets menu will come up.  Press the "Motorola" icon and a list of widgets will come up. Press the "GPS" icon and the GPS toggle-on-toggle-off button will be placed on the screen. From here, you can, as the name of the button implies, toggle the GPS on and off.

From your homescreen, menu> settings> location & security, make sure "use GPS satellites" is checked.

Better yet, hold your finger on an empty space in any of your screens. When the pop-up menu comes up, go to the Android widgets and go down to power widget and tap. This widget will give you an on/off for wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, airplane mode and screen brightness.

I also really like the toggle widgets that come with Beatuiful Widgets, you have have small 1x1 size widgets for each of the toggles, so you don't need  to see ones you won't use.  So for example I just have toggles for WifI and GPS  Of course BW is a paid app, but only $2.
