Does "Location Services" always drain the battery when enabled?
I've read lots of things that say if you want to save battery power, disabled "Location Services".
I find it annoying that on the odd occasion that I want to use Location Services, say, to find an ATM near where I am, I have to go into settings and enable it, and then go back into the app I tried to use, and go and enter my search again, etc.
Now, I understand that if my phone is actually trying to find my location, that is should use some power.
But my question is... If I have Location Services switched on, and I am not actually using any app that is trying to find my location, does my phone actually use any more power than if Location Services is disabled?
