Welll, no, I can't. I turned off the service friday. Battery life is nearly identical, hard to say for sure since I keep fiddling with GPS all the time - but for sure, it's in the ballpark of the same (ie, using about 30-40% of my battery in a typical day)

I'll keep an eye on it, but near as I can tell, if you've put your GPS in stand-alone mode, the service is a BAD THING, not a good thing.
