iPhone: Listening to GPS regularly and battery drain
I am new to iPhone development and I have an idea for an app that requires that I record the GPS position at least every 5 minute.
Is this possible without draining the battery completely?

You can try using timer and turning on/off gps.
So turn on GPS,record coordinates,start timer,turn off GPS and after some interval[around 2-3 mins] turn on GPS,record location and turn off GPS...repeat...
