I find that GPS is sometimes on when I power-on.  Maybe something very early
is toggling the pin and sometimes it is too fast to work, but sometimes it
isn't.

I currently have this in my startup scripts.

  {
  rfkill block gps
  > /tmp/gps.trace
  gpspipe -r -o /tmp/gps.trace &
  while [ ! -s /tmp/gps.trace ]
  do
     sleep 10
  done
  kill $!
  if [ `wc -l < /tmp/gps.trace` -gt 5 ]
  then
    echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio145/value
    sleep 0.1
    echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio145/value
  fi
  } &

Obviously you need 'gpsd' running for this to work.
