Gpslogger uses the most battery. Even if I din't use the phone. It'll consume too much. What are your settings to improve battery life? I started logging every 5 seconds and now every minute but that doesn't actually imorove battery life. Is there a solution?

What is your purpose in using GPSLogger at all? Difficult to say how you should configure it if we don't know why you're logging your location.

Since I don't let google use my location history, I have to takr care of that myself. Also, with a 1 minute interval, I have a detailed path of my location. I do not need to log my runs or hikes because they are always logged automatically. In case I need my history, I can just look it up. I look up my history frequently.

In short: which settings to use for efficient but soemwhat detailed logs without draining the battery.

Google somehow manages to do that. I don't know how often google checks on the location. That would be interesting to know.

I have it set to an interval of 60 seconds just like you, and everything (GPS, network, and passive) turned on; that is, when I have it turned on. I often turn it off when there is presently no good reason to log my location. It doesn't drain my battery very much, so not sure I can help you any further.
