Google Maps unused but showing in battery usage report

[BryanMR2]

I'm generally happy with my battery life so far (after 2 days and 3 hours, I had 28% left on the battery last night), however there's no harm in looking for ways to improve it further.

Since putting my phone on the charger last time I have not used Google Maps, yet it's showing 11% in my battery usage report. I checked the program manager (long press of the home button) and GMaps does NOT show up.

It's definitely using something, as I just checked again and it's up to 12% of my battery usage, with 7min of "wake time" total where it was 6min and change before.

What's going on?

Are you signed into Latitude under Google Maps?
If so, it's sending your location to the servers so your friends can see where you are.

I wasn't sure what Latitude was - I just checked and it's disabled. Of course now this means I have opened Maps and it's in the program manager...

I think any kind of location service is logged as gmaps.
