Battery drain from Google maps

I'm now using Xperia Z and with the firmware version 10.1.1A.1.307. I found that the google map use about 60% of the battery when my phone is in idle mode. and it happens after I update to newest google map. Some people says that it's caused by enabling the location report service from google. But my friend is using HTC one and enable the location report service. But this proble doesn't happen on it. So I guess it's related to comptaitablity between google map and XZ. Any one can help me? thanks

I am just suggesting you to turn it off when you are not using the location based service

i didn;t say to keep it off all the time

You can turn it back on when you need it

you don't have to be such a mean person at me just because i got it wrong, so people would laugh at you as well and think your idiot but w.e, next time if i get it wrong you could at least pass over spec or at least a link to answer than telling me get facts right and that people would laugh at me.

Secondly i know he said google maps but i wanted to make sure he didnt mistaken it by thinkin it was google maps when it could of been screen after all.

Wow you think i am being mean to you dude i just advised you to search about the facts and then post them as i don't want you to be laughed at, in this how can i be mean to you?

Instead i was trying to help you

And the op knows that its the google maps draining the battery and not the screen (he knows what is draining it so there was no point in telling him about the screen)

And as per your request here is the link http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one/#specs

Have some respect for the people who try to help don't lash out on them. I never laughed at you so no need to call me an idiot
