Does location use a lot of battery?
Running a GPS chip uses a lot of battery. On Android, location is derived from Google Location Services – a mix of GPS, WiFi hotspot IDs and cell tower IDs. On some phones, GPS can be turned off and the others left on, which will give you reduced accuracy (useless away from a city), but less power consumption.

Thanks very much.
