Google maps battery drain

[Fear345]

Google maps updated on my S3 the other day and since then the battery drain is completely wiping the battery from 100% to zero in a couple of hours. Anyone else had this ?

I suffered with this a few months ago and found it was latitude that was constantly looking fir my position and wiping the battery. Once I disabled latitude it went back to normal.

I found Google Now was draining mine with all the traffic updates etc every few mins. All showed up as Google maps.
