Describe the bug

When switching on GPS, even if it was off for a long time, a fix is aquired very quick.

This looks like the GPS chip never actually is switched off, and continues to work in the background and draw power.

In old versions of the firmware (I do not remember which ones), it took time to acquire a fix if GPS was off.

Which device are you using

LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using

v0.9.12

Fixed in v0.9.14

turning GPS off now really powers the GPS module down.
