Google Maps wakelock issues

[psufan32]

So, recently, my battery has been draining big-time. I have a SII with one of the last version of CM10 installed. Initially, I had terrific battery life. However, within the past week, my phone has been draining big time. Android OS is showing up in the "power manager" as being 50%+ of the battery usage, where as screen and Chrome are 15% or so.

I downloaded a wakelock app last night, and it had Google Maps at 15 minutes or so, despite not having used Maps at all yesterday. The only other two that stood out were Google+ and Facebook with 5 minutes or so.

Any ideas how I can lessen the impact of these three apps on my battery? I already have them set with the bare minimum features enabled (no updating, no location tracking, etc).

Open Maps, then go to its Settings. Select Location Settings, and turn off Location Reporting. This should greatly reduce the wake locks. As far as I can tell, it doesn't have any significant effect on Google Now or other practical functions.
