Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just me?
Basic ride tracking on a spanking new 1030, with a speed sensor plue Live Track running as well as a Weather Widget (not sure what stuff actually uses a lot of battery time), shows the rated 5% per hr., or expected 20 hrs. of run time. When I'm navigating and the TBT screen is getting a workout, the 6-7% per hr so I'm thinking it'll navigate a long day. So yes, I can see where some higher level thinking on the part of the device uses more battery. Saw this with the 1000 as well as the 810 as well.
