Most Effective/Easiest Way to Disable GPS?

I just wanted a quick way to be able to do this in order to save battery when i dont need it.

i have read/heard that having gps enabled and active doesnt actually use any more battery until it is fed into a maps program (or something similar) which must then use that info to find a location from the internet.

so:
1) does gps really use extra battery when it is enabled/active but not actually being used at the time?

2) what is the best way to terminate the gps connection?

thx, Jim.
