Stop geolocation service windows phone 8

Question

I am doing an app for WP8, that uses Geo-location in background execution, and my code is located here.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj662935(v=vs.105).aspx

All works fine when it is running in the background, the app show a toast saying where the phone is... but I have no idea how I can stop the background service, from the user perspective.

Answer 1

To stop background tasks as a user:

1. go to settings
2. on top you can see "System" slide right to "Application"
3. open "background tasks"

There is also "advanced" for the ones the user can't stop.
