[closed] Barometer turns off

Samsung Galaxy SIII. Barometer turns off when I return from geolocation menu to the map display.
Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
This is actually not a bug but a feature... The barometer information is only displayed in the geolocation details window, so as soon as you close this window the barometer sensor is turned off (so it don't use extra battery in the background).
The barometer feature is currently very simple. I plan to add more things, like the ability to replace the altitude data from the GPS by the altitude provided by the barometer, which is usually more precise, but need a complex automated calibration...
Unfortunately I first need to get a new device with a barometer to develop this feature in an efficient way.
Best regards
