How infrequently can you set the interval
How infrequently can you set the interval for checking location with the cell phone tracker? Can it be set say for every 60 mins? Would that extend the battery life for several days?

Thank you, that was helpful but can you give me an estimate of how long the battery will last if it was set for sending every 4 hrs in a good cell coverage area (for example). Or put another way, is it possible to get 2 - 3 days from the phone by setting the interval and if so, about how far apart would you have to set it?
I don't think you can get 2-3 days, despite of interval settings. It consumes battery other than acquiring positions and sending data. For example, it constantly checking for the number of satellites in view etc. The best you can get I think is about 12 hours.

I know with my regular cell phone I can leave it on for at least two days before the battery is gone as long as I'm not talking on it so passive tower checking doesn't consume that much battery power.
Oh well, I'd really like something I could get a couple of days out of without having to put hands on it.
