Hi Tris,
I have found this to be incorrect. If you actually disable the internal GPS
receiver, even if you are not using GPS, you do save battery in my
experience. Every time you slide open the N95 for example, GPS is switched
on.
All the best
Steve

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
