Either way, searching for a signal adds to the battery drain. But then again, I would not suggest using a GPS app, on battery, for any long trip. The internal battery won't last all day, and if you are in a car, you have external power there.
And it does not matter what provider you have, along the coast, there are lots of places with no signal because you are in a valley or in a geographic shadow to the cell tower.

I'm on AT&T with an iPhone 5. Trips up or down the coast there are a lot of places I don't get signal. Not having signal uses up battery since my phone is constantly looking for a signal in that situation. I think looking for a signal sucks more battery than using any GPS app.

I used to travel often where there is not cellular signal to place the map behind the location indicator, and so GPS on the iPhone without the maps downloaded to the phone prior made it useless. Also in mountains and in valleys, you also don't have cellular signals.
