Im getting the battery drain from google maps. Anyway to turn off google maps automatically after usage and not have it run in the background? I'll post this on the wiki later if someone provides a solution.
Is it the app that is causing the battery drain or GPS being left on?
If it is the latter, I use an app called Automateit and have one of the conditions turn off GPS after my screen turns off. I have another that turns GPS on when Maps starts.
I was having excessive battery drain and I used spare parts to check for partial wake usage and found out it was the Maps app.
