Galaxy S5---Does GPS quickly devour a battery's energy?

I hear that GPS quickly devour a battery's energy, is it true? Galaxy S5 is my first smartphone and I have switched my GPS on. In spite of having a back up battery off mpj, I would like to preserve more battery power when I am out all day. My really question was, whether it will drain battery life only when a navigation application needs it, otherwise it is dormant?

Apps only turn it on when needed, and you see the icon on the upper left when on.
I leave the setting on all the time and it has no impact that I can see on idle battery life.
You can go to battery status and see which apps are using the most battery, usually things that do lots of screen updates are the biggest culprits (navigation, youtube, etc)
