GPS track not recorded when GPS lost position

Seems Galilieo is not listening for "GPS online again" event or something.

Started Galileo (and start track recording) and Runkeeper, then pushed 'Home' and no app was in focus. Walked a few km, then into a store. Checked the phone and both apps had kept track; pushed 'Home' and no app was in focus again. Inside the store, GPS lost track of satellites. 30 min later I walked outside and home again, but when I came home Galileo had not registered that the GPS came "online" again (Runkeeper did this though), so the whole way home became a long straight line from where it lost track to where I checked it at home again.

Please check the new version 2.1.2 - it might be fixed now.

I can now confirm my previous observation; I will however try again without Runkeeper running in the background. I'm thinking perhaps Runkeeper is consuming the GPS back on track event (I'm not an ios programmer so I don't know if that's possible).

Can now reconfirm that it happens even though nothing else is running in the background so prehaps Galileo just isn't listening for that event?
