Help GPS icon on all the time now. Why?

My gps icon is active all the time now. I just noticed it after I installed EVERNOTES, I have uninstalled the app but the gps still shows active. How can I find out what is activating the gps?

Thanks,

Jim
 
Go to Menu | Settings | About Phone | Battery | Battery Use. There it will list a bunch of apps that have been using your battery. If you tap on one like Google+, you will see details of what that app uses. Google+ uses GPS, so it will say how long it has used your GPS. Poynt is another app that I have that uses GPS. You will have to go down the list of apps to see which one is using your GPS.
