Not quite true. You cannot turn off GPS for 911. Dialing 911 turns it on automatically. The crosshairs mean that GPS is enabled for applications that need to use it. it is not active (that's the satellite dish) but it is set to act automatically if an app requests it and it updates its epherma data periodically. I haven't noticed any change in battery life since leaving mine on. I don't have to hit a button or step through menus to use GPS enabled apps which annoyed me and since it sleeps (crosshairs) when not in use you shouldn't see much change in battery usage.
