Maps is connected to several background services that lets you use the GPS system for locating itself. Camera for example and a whole slew of others like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. if you ise any of those or anything else that allows locations, a maps service will be open. Besides its not the entire app itself. Eco mode is the power saving feature. I understand its on by default. Then turn it off i suppose.
