Hi Amira There are no APIs to enable or disable GPS from application. By default GPS is disable in device (there is no GPS in emulator), you can enable it manually through settings->Location->GPS. You can only check whether your device supports GPS or not using tizen.systeminfo.getCapabilities() method.

Hi, To know whether GPS is enabled or not, Web Applications doesn't have functionality, but you can using hybrid application to know whether it is on or not using native apps. To launch setting app use Application control APis

Hi Use the below code to launch 'settings' app 
function onsuccess() {
        console.log("The application has launched successfully");
    }
function errorCallback(){console.log("failed");}
tizen.application.launch("kto5jikgul.Settings", onsuccess,errorCallback);

Hello, For launch Setting -> Location you can use AppControl: var appControl = new tizen.ApplicationControl("http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/configure/location", null, null, null); tizen.application.launchAppControl( appControl, "tizen.settings", function() {console.log("launch application control succeed"); }, function(e) {console.log("launch application control failed. reason: " + e.message); }, null );
