A gentlemanly pootler, these days

I rode to work this morning using the cycling directions given by Google Maps on my phone, as an experiment for doing the same in France. It took me all over the bloody place, and introduced some rather stupid detours, but I kind of expected that being in London.
The Google Map of the route I want to use in France looks much more straightforward and matches one which somebody's placed up on Ride With GPS so I'm happy to go with it... One thing I did notice today, however, was how much my battery got chewed up for the duration. No way will it last the five or so hours I'll require over La Manche, so... Does anyone have any tips for reducing Google Maps battery consumption?
