if you have VZnav on there, you would want device GPS on.

for now, until you upgrade, keep it to 911.

what I noticed, is that once I upgrade, unlocked the GPS, turned 911 on, if I did not SPECIFICALLY stop the program / tell it to stop GPS service, my battery would last 5-7 hours.

I dont use GPS that much, so I keep it off and just turn it on when i want it.

The best way that i have found is through google sync. Just export your outlook addresses to out look run the app. Works like a charm.
