Am I the only one who is annoyed at apps that require GPS to be enabled? I can deal with it for things like Navigation where I can plug my phone into my car to keep the battery up. But for general use, it just sucks up way too much battery and is easy to forget to turn off. The result is that I just avoid apps that require it.

Does disabling GPS actually save power if no app is trying to use GPS? I thought the GPS receiver only draws power if an app is actually using it.

Location-based apps requiring GPS to work is a surprise to you?
