If something depends on staying running all the time - it should be a service, not an app. Plus, in WM5, the State and Notification Broker will help with a lot of these cases - without requiring a service.
As for the GPS app, I can just restate what I said that a properly behaved Pocket PC app returns to its previous state if it is restarted after being closed by the system. The only thing you would notice is that there is a delay to reload the app instead of just switching to it.
