| Nov 16, 2012 at 18:08 | comment | added | KeithS | Unfortunately a search through Google Play for variations on "GPS Monitor" or "GPS Usage Tracker" only showed apps that use GPS to track or monitor things (yourself, your trucks/drivers, your kids, etc) rather than tracking GPS usage itself. | |
| Nov 16, 2012 at 17:56 | comment | added | MalcolmOcean | What @Izzy said. I can think of plenty of reasons why apps might do this, but I wanted to know which ones. Also, it just started happening in the past few weeks, so I highly doubt that it's related to a built-in service. Even if it is, I'd like to know for sure. | |
| Nov 16, 2012 at 17:55 | comment | added | MalcolmOcean | Oh yeah, I just meant I used the dedicated "running apps" key on ICS+ to close them. I realize that that leaves stuff running in the background. | |
| Nov 16, 2012 at 17:54 | comment | added | Izzy | Good information -- but how does that answer the question: How can I find out what app is using my GPS from the background? | |
