GPS functionnality improvement

Good morning,

I am using my Mudita GPS for outdoor activities, such as cycling. Since there is currently no suitable mount available for this device, I usually keep it in my pocket while riding.

I noticed that when the screen automatically locks, the GPS loses its signal. Also, when It return to the general menu by mistake, I lose my current navigation session and all of the checkpoints I previously entered. As a result, I have to manually enter every checkpoint again, and the GPS has to recalculate the entire route from scratch. This is quite inconvenient, especially while cycling.

In my opinion, the GPS app should be able to continue running smoothly in the background, similar to the music app, even when the screen is locked. Being able to keep the voice navigation active is very useful with your phone in the pocket.

If this is something you could consider improving in a future update, I would really appreciate it. I believe this would make the GPS much more practical for outdoor activities.

Thank you for your time and for your work on improving the device.

Best regards,

Jordan Lhuile
