<![CDATA[Battery drains quickly - GPS?]]>I am new to Mapy, but I noticed that the battery drains very rapidly when I use Mapy. Even when I am only browsing the map, without tracking or navigating. Is Mapy continuously pulling the GPS location? If so, can I disable that? Or is there another setting that I should change to save battery?

Maybe it was due to initiation tasks immediately after installation. Or excessively many map updates, because I was looking around in many places. Since I downloaded my free country command batteries usage appeared to have dropped a bit. That said, the app still draws more power than all my other mapping apps, so energy saving advice is still appreciated.

This is on an iPad under iOS 26.4
