How much battery life does google maps use on my iPhone 4S?
I have a long journey to make and my Sat Nav won't work in my car as I can't power it up at the moment, so I can use Google maps on my iPhone but need to be sure the battery will last the whole journey!
The phone is a year old so it's not a brand new battery when they actually last a while!
I know I can close all the apps I have open by double clicking the home button but still wondering if it'll last!
Maps require locations services that use a lot of battery see here:

Most cars have an accessory socket which you can plug into and then your phone will have all the power it needs
I do this with my phone when using maps etc and I'm in the truck all day
- Old GPS or iPhone maps or google maps app? I'm going to drive from IL down to SC and I don't trust my old garmin nuvï 255 nor iphone maps lol:-) GPS update is $50 which I'm not going to spend. So has anyone used iphone maps or google maps app on long distance trips? Or I just better use old gps?

- Is it just my phone or does the iPhone 4S use to much battery life? I have a iPhone 4S and i'm willing to go for a 5 or wait till the 5S or what ever it will be called for literally no other reason then battery.one thing i love is though is iOS so i won't go for a android phone. Any other 4S users have this battery problem.
- IPhone: Google maps or default apple maps? I personally like the default maps, at least the OS 7 version. (like everyone else who had a brain, I hated the OS 6 version) Which one do you guys like more? Which is more popular now?
