My problem is simple. I need a way to turn on and off GPS using a button inside an Ionic app. I've check the docs and read this ng-cordova plugin http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/geolocation/ but they don't seem have this funcction. Am I just missing something or is this even possible in Ionic Framework? Thanks!

I wanna open GPS automatically according to my requirements.
So I used cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy
When GPS is off, it request user to open GPS..It's very helpful for me..
Ionic1
https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy

Ionic2
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/location-accuracy/
Best Regards....
