Description

The app loses Bluetooth connection to the external GPS when the screen is switched off or the app goes to the background. It would be good to keep the connection alive as it will take some time to re-establish the connection when user wants to record.

Trace the mobile Bluetooth connection lifecycle and verify that recording can resume without waiting for a fresh connection after the device or app returns to the foreground.
