I don't know how it is on the GNex, but I did a quick unscientific test with the original Droid and it rarely used more than half of the CPU while using Google's Nav app. I was actually quite shocked at how little CPU it used.
- monitron 15y agoWell, all the pathfinding and at least some of the map rendering is being done server-side, and the 3D drawing is mostly offloaded to the GPU. So I would actually be surprised if the CPU was working hard for Nav. My guess is that a lot of the power suck during navigation comes from: - Keeping the screen on - Constantly reading the GPS - Loading new map tiles, traffic data, etc over the radio - GPU rendering at 30fps or so
