1 minute seems long to me too, 5-10 sec is a good generic interval if you just want it to turn off quicker. Also remember that the GPS needs a time *and* distance update interval.
But my question is this, have you sat down and watched to see if the little satellite dish disappears after a minute? My guess is it should. Also remember your app is usually just suspended when you first turn it off (so it can be booted up quicker). If android needs the memory it will kill it.
