</div>To bad one can't set update each second... every 5 seconds, every 15<br>
seconds every 30s every 60s and so on... That way the CPU could go to<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>I'm a complete n00b to the freerunner, I don't even have my phone yet, but for saving power when using GPS is there a quick way to turn off GPS when it is not needed and back on that will cut down on power usage, also delaying when it updates might help two of my friends have an Iphone and they update GPS every 2-3 seconds I don't think setting a delay in the updates would be such a bad thing here as long as it is not something insane like 10 seconds or more.<br>
