You are not setting the accuracy of your location manager. Go through apple docs, it is something like accuracy = bestfornavigation. or something. That should drain battery like hell but is meant for this kind of purposes.

// Configure the Location Manager
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation;
