I see a big problem with shutting down the RF_3V, we'll shutdown the VBAT as well. That means no SRAM and backup RTC. Without backup RTC we'll increase the start up time. The good news is we do not need to shutdown RF_3V because if you bring the GPS chip into standby mode, NSHDN connected to LDO_EN will go down and will shutdown the internal 1.8V LDO as well. One of the more important questions is, if you shutdown the chip by software, does the core shutdown as well or is it still running if VDD1.8V is active. I'm not sure but i guess it will only go into sleep mode where it still needs more power than in shutdown mode.
