Shutting down GPS after using app???

[Smoke N Crack]

After shutting down for example Google Maps or Gooogle earth, or any other app that opens up the GPS, it still shows active in my notification bar. Why wont it shut down when i exit these programs? i have to shut phone down to turn it off. is there a trick to shutting it down or is there an app in the market that will shut it off after using it?

There is a bug with GPS. It works and it works great. But it stays active and keeps the phone from going into standby after you use a program that uses it. Best solution is to put a widget for GPS on the home screen and when your done using a program that used GPS press that widget twice, once to turn it off and once to turn it on.

If you are really worried or trying to conserve as much battery power as you can just turning it on when you need it.
