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
There shouldn't be any internet connection running with FreeCaddie. I think the majority of battery loss is due to the fact that people don't turn there screen off between shots. I played 18 holes today, and it only used about 15% of my battery. You also have to factor in that it took 4 hours to play the 18 as well.

I would recommend running a custom ROM like No2Chem's NueROM. He has almost all battery saving configurations set.
