Title
Body
Does the CLLocationManager distanceFilter property do anything to conserve battery life / power usage between making its request at the required distance. I don't think it does, but I just wanted to check that I should still be calling stopUpdatingLocation and not just leaving it running. I found one answer on here that suggested the phone dialled down its polling (until the desired distance was reached) thus saving power. But on the other hand it seems to hint that even checking the desired distance needs the antennas to be active and as such saves little power. Currently when I need a locations details I am explicitly doing startUpdatingLocation, checking for a suitable location before sending the stopUpdatingLocation message to the CLLocationManager.
