Welcome to the forums. If it was put on the home screen, you can remove it by longpressing the icon, but that won't uninstall the service. It's possible that it is a function of Maps and needs high accuracy on, which can cause a higher than normal battery drain. You can turn off high accuracy in setting>location.

Get it off my f@.!:/=g phone ASAP please. I'm sure someone has already figured out how to make a mainstream hack and my psycho ex girlfriend will be stalking my every move within hours. I can't stand apps that can be hacked and follow people, yet aren't removable. Its crap. I'm going boycott Androids forever after this of it doesn't get fixed. F$'&8! GOOGLE!

There’s nothing we can do about Google services, since we have no affiliation with that company, but there is always Google Feedback, accessible to all users.
