Re: Location based sound profile switching?

The problem with this is you'll kill your battery trying to keep current GPS fixes. Even 1 fix every 30 minutes between 8am-5pm uses about 40% of your battery, so it's just not practical.

Couple that with the need to fully wake the phone up to get a fix, and the weird behavior of every now and then completely locking up the GPS, and you can see that this is one of those really cool ideas that just isn't practical.
