Hello,

Is it possible to disable the onboard GPS sensor and use a bluetooth
unit instead?

If I look at the location side of the phone, it doesn't offer that
option whereas the Nokia N900 does. Is it possible to do it via some
code perhaps?

In case you're wondering why I might want to do such a thing, the
answer is heat. The phone seems to run much warmer when using Android
code and I have installed Sygic maps. I had those on the N900 and liked
their operation but that phone also ran very hot and would lose comms
from the inbuilt GPS when it did so. Hence I'd like to avoid the same
problem this time around.
