No, GPS is location services. Cellular is what you use when making calls.

Can you turn off the GPS and what effect would it have?
Is GPS the connection to the mobile network so you can make calls and send
texts etc, if so, it makes sense that you couldn't or wouldn't want to turn
that off as essentially, it would make your phone not a phone :-)

The largest battery hog, by far, is GPS.
The second largest battery hog is using the phone as a phone.
The third largest battery hog is probably screen brightness sat hi.
The fourth largest battery hog is probably Wi-Fi. However, this is only the
case when Wi-Fi is actively maintaining a connection. If 3G, for G, or LTE is
the connection instead, that becomes the similar large battery drain. Active
Bluetooth is probably fifth. In active Bluetooth that is turned on drains 1% to
3% per hour, so is a minimal battery drain.

I have never had a problem on any of my devices when I ask Siri to turn off or

suspect these are either the two largest battery power hogs or very near it.

Joseph, when I asked Siri to turn on Wi-Fi, I got a message it was turned back
on. So I'll need to do some checking on this. In any event, your recommendation
is also a good one because it's not that difficult to do. Thanks.

Hi Les,
Actually, if you do decide that WiFi enabled is not essential every
minute of the day on your iOS 7.X device, when you turn off WiFi
using Siri, you will have to manually turn it back on. You can do
this by placing your finger on any status bar item such as the time
then execute a 3-finger flick up to open the control center. You can
now swipe once or twice to the WiFi setting and double-tap to turn it
on once again. Sounds like lots of steps, but it actually isn't and can be done in
about 2 seconds. <Smile>.

Joseph, Greytip. To add to what you said, you can turn Wi-Fi on and
off using Siri. This makes it really easy, as you don't need to go
into settings to toggle Wi-Fi on and off.

Hi all,
I thought I would pass on a little tip for those using an iPod touch
and or an iPhone.
Since purchasing my iPod 5th gen about 1.5 years ago, I've always
had WiFi running at all times. At most I would get about 1.5 days
battery life. I was learning how to use the device so wanted access
to Siri and other online access to iTunes store and such, which
explains why battery died so quickly.
Now having long learned how to use my iOS device, I thought I would
run it with WiFi disabled and only turned on when I needed it. I
discovered that with WiFi disabled I could get 6 days of battery
life. This means of course that WiFi is a major battery hog.
<Smile>. At one point when battery life was at 100%, over 24 hours
later I was still at 100%. Quite frankly, I'm amazed my iOS device
can do this since I had never considered running it without WiFi.
My point is that if one is finished learning how to use their iOS
device, and if one doesn't need to use email and other information
constantly pushed to your iOS device, maybe turning off WiFi will
also extend the battery on your device.
I of course am aware of personal preference and iOS lifestyle
preferences, but since the bulk of iOS apps don't need an internet
connection to run, disabling wifi could remove the constant hassle
of charging out of your life. <Smile>.
Just thought I would pass on this little tip.
Joseph
