Title:
  Two GPS compatible apps conflict and loose GPS

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Meizu MX4 with Ubuntu 15.04 r2

  1. run OSMscout (for example)
  2. drive/cycle a distance to confirm that GPS tracking is working fine
  3. run the camera app (for example)
  4. take a few photos (they'll be tagged with GPS info)
  5. switch to OSMscout
  6. drive/cycle and OSM will now not update from GPS

  Haven't tested this with other apps as yet, but it seems that one app
  will take control of the GPS and not hand it back. (For want of a
  better explanation.)
