GPSToggle was (I'm now on WM6.5/Titanium) always toggled on after a soft reset. At the end of an average day with a 2 or 3 texts and a few phone calls I would be at three or four out of four bars on the taskbar. Many days I would skip nightly charging. I've never seen the 20% low battery warning some people complain of.

I think it's other apps than the GPS radio that suck current. GMaps for instance is constantly downloading data. The GPS radio is receive only; GMaps is transmit/receive. If you are in a fringe area for reception your battery will get depleted fairly quickly.
