location services an on/off quick like you have done with bluetooth over the releases

Location services is a great tool but the drain on battery power is bad. Similar to bluetooth - you basically had to dig to turn it off and on. Can you add it shortcut menu or have the ability to create an application to on/off the capability instead of digging through settings

I would think they must have been asked for this many, many times. Yes, a quick menu with a switch, like for bluetooth or the calculator. Or, press the home button 3 times and get prompted etc. I hate having to go in to settings, find privacy and then flip the switch. I think the primary reason I go into setting is to turn this off and on. Battery use is so high when location services is on, if it were easier to do, I would be able to last a day with one charge. But, since it is such a hassle, I only do it (turn LS off) when I really need to save the batteries. Also, how about a desktop button to close "All Apps". I still love my iPhone, but these would be the two biggest, simple changes, that Apple could do to improve.
