I have noticed that whenever I open a newMapView, the gps icon on Samsung Galaxy 3 appears - I understand this since Google Maps is using gps data. But once the newMapView is removed, the gps icon still remains. Does this still mean that the supposedly removed object is still accessing gps info? The only way to “remove” the gps icon is to go into Application Manager and force the program to halt. What is happening here? I noticed that another user posted a similar question, but on an iPhone:

On a side note Google Maps is such a power hog.
