Map as a Live Wallpaper?

I was looking through the live wallpapers for the Galaxy Nexus and came across one of the wallpapers that left me wondering for a few days about whether it is useful or not. The live wallpaper shows your current location on Google Maps as a background for your phone. When you scroll through your various screens, the map moves in the direction of your scroll.

It also made me wonder whether this feature is using up unnecessary battery as the GPS needs to be activated in order to find where you are (obviously). What do you think and have you tried this wallpaper? I'm still working out whether the battery is getting drained by it.
