With iOS 5.1 a new icon was added to indicate when an app is "using a geofence" versus "using your location". My understanding is that using a geofence consumes less battery.

The Toodledo location monitoring shows the full "using your location" icon versus the geofence icon. And my anecdotal evidence seems to show Toodledo location alerts use battery life more quickly that apps using geofencing (e.g. Instapaper). I haven't done any rigorous monitoring, however, so I could be mistaken.

Toodledo, can you comment on this and what method the Toodledo app is using?

Thanks!
