My app is currently using Maps by Google Play Services speficying: mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); I realize each time I am displaying the map in my app: the location is indicated on the map by a blue dot a location icon is displaying in the top bar if I go into Settings/Location of the phone, my app is reported as "High battery use" However, I can see there are apps that use Maps and still show the location blue dot, but the location icon doesn't appear in top bar and their battery usage is low.
