You shouldn't need to toggle GPS at all with this app to get Google Maps to work. This is only for substandard apps like Tom Tom, iGo, etc.

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.
And with the service disabled, all GPS apps work normally without a launcher or mod? Perhaps we can toggle the service on and off (if it is found to have a power difference) rather than force GPS on and off.
