Google Maps 4.01 and Memory and Battery Drain
I upgraded my Google Maps to 4.01. Since that time I began to lose memory consistently (about 0.5 MB/hour) . Memory would decrease even more the times I was actually using the application (and yes I did exit the app and not leave it running in the background). Rebooted my Storm and my total free memory was decreased by 1.5 MB. Again noticed memory leak. Again rebooted and my Storm rebooted another 1.5 less. Removed the application completely and booted up to what I would expect my memory to be (adding the fact that Google Maps was now off my Storm). Waited a day and left the application off and found no memory leak. Reinstalled again today and had the same problem with memory leak. In addition, I found my battery usage to be considerably more the times I had Google Maps 4.01 on my Storm.
I really liked the upgrade, maps loaded much faster, searches was much faster and GPS position was obtained much faster. I hope other people have similar issues and it causes Google to make a fix.
