Irregular usage of location services

I keep turned off the location services and only enabled while navigating any route . Is that the appropriate way to get the best result of Maps application or I need to always keep turning on the location services?

I usually turn off my location services to because i think it consumes higher percentage of battery ideally.

Since last week I am facing the issue of inaccurate location by using maps and now I want to know that the issue is relevant to my usage of location services or not?
