    Google maps?

    I keep having this issue where my phone will open Google maps on its own. I haven't used Google maps in weeks, but often when I use the recent apps button it will show Google maps in the icon area but the window itself won't open. However I think I know the cause. I often use Google search's places tab to get phone numbers, and I think this causes maps to run in the background for the "map" portion of the window, even if I don't use the map at all. Anyone else have this issue/feature?

    Interesting. Have you tried clearing the cache/data of the google maps app?

    Have you downloaded any apps recently?
    New to Android? Please read this.

    +1 used 7%, and it's been sitting on my desk all day.
    If I force quit it comes back immediately. No new apps for me either. I think maps updated the other day. .
    Also, two reboots today...my first since getting the phone a few weeks ago....

    What's everyone's GPS settings? I have them all on. I'm going to see if apps that use GPS trigger it. Last time it happened was after I used Facebook, but I just used it and no maps on now.

    ok i uninstalled the last google maps update from 6.5 to 6.0.1 been running it like that all day and night and google maps never poped up inmy recent apps tray so i am to assume it has something to do with the 6.5 update. Hope this helps.
