I've spent an hour using google to no avail but I was wondering if anyone knew of any data showing power usage for various smartphones using the GPS at various polling frequencies such as every 5 or 1 minutes.
It is well known that using GPS continuously kills the battery but how bad is every 5 minutes? Initially one would think this is much less but there is a large cost in switching on the GPS sensor and getting a lock, thus doing that every 30s or 1 minutes could be worse simply leaving the GPS on continuously.
Would switching the GPS on very 10 minutes create a significant drain?
