Map app in android 2.1 is using batt life even when not running

[adding2n2is5]

I have noticed that since the update to android 2.1 that battery drain is crazy during times that it shouldn't be. After some experimenting and searching through phone settings I found that the phone will tell you what had been using the battery since it was last unplugged. I found that it shows the map app using over 90% of batt even when the program had never been opened. I had also verified through ATK that map app wasn't even open. Anyone else setting this? ANY ideas on what to do?

I think the battery usage program has some bugs as one day my phone said my camera had used 90% of my phones battery and I never even took one picture.

how do i find what is using battery up?

Mine is exactly the same. I haven't even opened the Google Map App and when you open ATK it shows Maps running. If you then kill the App it shows it killed. Return to home screen and then go back to ATK and Google Map is running again!!! Why? Anyone any ideas?

Click on phone
dial *#*#4636#*#*
This enters a Testing menu with 4 options.
Battery history will show you what things have been used.

Also, i found if i turn off mobile network AND wi-fi battery drain is significantly less. I went to bed with 100% and when i got up it had used only 3%. Might help a little if you don't need it.
Also, Advanced Task Killer is worth using and killing what you don't need

Tick the ones you wanna kill mate
I tick all, except Advanced Task Killer itself.
Just be aware if you kill for example, clock and an alarm is due, it *might* not go off.......trial and error

i only got 2 options:
phone information and battery information
under batter information it just tells me about my battery status level scale etc nothing about what has been used?

Sorry mate, the 2 option is V1.5 as opposed to 4 option under 2.1.
I am sure someone with more knowledge of task manager style apps from the market might be able to help more
