Checking the logcat output, I definitely see the GPS updates stopping
after moving away from location-aware scopes. This is on an N4.

Bug description:
  phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ system-image-cli -i
  current build number: 237
  device name: krillin
  channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed
  last update: 2015-02-17 17:04:34
  version version: 237

  You can easily see if the GPS is active or not by checking the logcat
  output (running as root). In this case the hardware remains on
  (consumed by the location-service) after opening a scope such as the
  weather channel one, and retrieving location.

  To reproduce:
  1 - Reboot the phone;
  2 - Open logcat as root: sudo /system/bin/logcat
  3 - From today's scope, click on the weather icon (opening the weather channel scopes)
  4 - See that the GPS is active and location works as expected
  5 - Move away from that scope, and check logcat's output (it will stay active, meaning that the location-service is still active).
