regarding battery life, im pretty sure GPS is always turned on on our phones. using it is just a matter of being connected to the satellites. ive read somewhere that gps has no ill effects on our battery. it mainly just relies on how much battery the app itself uses and other factors like how many other progs you have runnings, backlight brightness, etc.

in my use, i dont think any gps really drains your bat. but its normally internet connection for me thats normally also running with it on google maps that i think causes the main battery consumption
