What apps do you have that are location-enabled? Quite a few apps will periodically determine your location. Even without an app to tell you what's using your GPS receiver you can take a look at the running apps on your device.

Shopping apps and weather apps typically invoke your gps periodically. Some sports apps, too.

Shopsavvy is a big culprit. I used Ultimate Juice to limit it's connection to the internet only "when visible" and that's kept it under control. I use UJ to limit data connections of a lot of apps. Some I disable altogether.
