A little arrow appears in my phone status bar when I activate Pilot’s location service. Why?
This arrow lets you know that Pilot’s location service is working fine.
My battery life decreased since I started using the location service. How comes?

However, battery usage is reduced to its minimum, so you get the most efficiency and battery usage out of the app’s features.
