GPS On / Off

Hi,
just got a Vivoactive 3 to substitute my Vivosmart HR.
I have an Edge Explore 820 for cycling and I plan to use the Vivoactive 3 to send his signal to the 820 during rides and as stand alone for walking and basic activities.
I do not expect a huge battery life so my question is: how to know when the Vivoactive GPS is On or Off?
Does GPS switch off at the end of an activity, as I expect, 820 alike?
When you activate the GPS from the icon in the control menu does it stay on forever or what?
Cheers

GPS turns on as needed, i.e. when you start an outdoor activity, or run an app or widget that requires access to GPS. GPS turns off automatically when it is not needed any more, i.e. when you terminate the activity or app.
