  • Matt, thanks for the answer. I assumed that the GPS was basically a linear cost, and the rate at which it was awakening my listener was the real variant in this. Do you know of any research on power drawn for a constant GPS who's not moving vs one which is constantly triggering listener updates? Commented Jan 19, 2011 at 17:22
  • @Adam: Sorry, I don't know of anything that will give you absolute numbers. If you accept that the GPS is a fixed power cost, then you would assume that the secondary cost of doing 'whatever you do with the updates' is going to drop to almost zero if you don't move. YMMV - best thing is probably to test it out yourself :) Commented Jan 24, 2011 at 15:40
