GPS/IGuidiance/Astro GPS/Confused

[ret2961]

Okay, please don't flame, I tried searching and came up empty after about 6,000 pages of reading...

I am using the leaked Sprint ROM with IGuidiance, GPSGate and the Astro GPS hack.

Astro launches with Iguide, and I see GPS Gate fire right up. Quick locks, works great...

I have two questions...I was using GPS Viewer, which I used to manually shut down the GPS when I was done...It does not look to me like the GPS is shutting down after I close Iguide (I thought it was supposed to).

Also, tonight I used the GPS for a long trip (45+ minutes). Even though the phone was plugged in to the car charger, the battery was at 10%! Is the GPS draw that significant so as to negate the car charger??

Sorry for the questions and thanks for the help!!

Check your cords etc. I've done several 2 hr trips with iGuidance and it runs fine while powered. In fact I did one 2 hr trip on battery !!

I don't do anything special to "shutdown". I close iguidance and close gpsgate. Done.
