I have a samsung fascinate which just got upgraded to Verizon's Froyo. Since then gps app that rely on frequent polling of the gps sucks the battery dry. Google Maps and SportyPal (cardio trainer) drain my battery within 2 hours while using the apps. This was NOT a problem with 2.1

Any ideas on why this is happening or how to fix it? Could it just be the intensive need for gps coordinates that cause the cardio apps to suck the battery via the gps? If so, why wasn't this a problem on 2.1?

Thanks in advance...
