The toggling of the positioning mode only happens within the POI view. When the POI view gets in the background (either by closing or by opening a different view) the initial positioning mode gets applied.
{{Version/AndroidSince|2.5.4}} {{UBIK}} provides an indicator showing the user if LLA only mode or any other positioning mode is currently active.

When '''LLA only mode''' is '''active''', {{UBIK}} ignores all other location updates except the ones from [[#Scanning LLA markers|scanning LLA markers]].
