Blackberry Battery Life

Since installing Geocache Navigator, my battery life has reduced dramatically.  Even after I reboot the unit and don't start the GCN software, my battery life is affected the same.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

I tried a new battery too JIC it might have been the battery. Same results. Thanks.

Re: Blackberry Battery Life

When you switch to another BB program, are you exiting Geocache Navigator or just switching to the new program?

I didn't realize this at first, but if you switch to the mail program, calendar or something else, GC Navigator will keep running in the background, and the GPS seems to suck down a lot of battery life.

I discovered this when using it this weekend.  I was walking to a cache and swiched out to check mail for a 1/4 of a mile or so and when I switched back to GC Navigator, the GPS was all initialized and running and knew exactly where we were.

I can confirm this. When Geocachenavigator is running in the background it sucks the battery. I have to charge it every 24 hours in that case.

I was using the Quit menu item to exit GC Navigator.

I unloaded and reloaded the software and that solved my battery problem. Thank.s
