Hi guys, I'm creating some geofence-based macros and I have some questions about their "cost-efficiency":
1 → What is the impact of a geofence check on battery drain? Is it really noticeable if the checks occur at 5-minute intervals?
2 → I have many geofences, and it seems like each one can have a different update rate. Is this true, or is the update rate the same for all geofences, being set when we configure the last one?
3 → In the case of multiple geofences, does MacroDroid update just once, and then use the collected location data for all the geofences, or does it update every geofence separately?
4 → If I'm using a location-based app such as Google Maps or Waze, which updates location very quickly and frequently, does MacroDroid "borrow" this location data "free of charge" from them, or does it also drain some battery to obtain its own location data?
Thanks a lot for anyone who can help me with this!
