I think that so long as you are not running any mapping application that
uses the GPS then you should not be draining power because of the GPS
functionality. However other wireless features like Bluetooth and wi-fi
scanning shoiuld be turned off to increase battery life. On the N95 it
is a real killer. It is still possible to disable the wi-fi scanning
but have access to it as and when you need it, I regularly use this to
check mail when not at a computer in the house, I am sure the N82 works
the same way.

Hi Terry,
If you have Wireless scanning (WLAN) turned on, that will also add to
the batter drain. (At least it sure does with my N95)

Subject: [access-uk] gps on or off?
Hi all
Does anyone know how to tell whether GPS is turned on or off, using the
N82. When I go into gps data, it says its finding satellites, and locks
on to them, but does it automatically disconnect from the gps when you
close that application.
I can't tell whether it is on or off, as my battery seems to be draining
quite quickly.
I have Bluetooth turned off, so it isn't that.
Thanks for any help.
terry
