Did you recently update the Weather Channel app? There is a known problem that they are working on fixing where it keeps the arrow on your status bar.

If you go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location Warnings, it'll go away.

If you have the Weather Channel app it's probably the absolutely horrible update they just did.

I shut off local weather and the gps still stayed on. I use the city option now. I still could not pin point it. I dont know if it was on or if the arrow was just stuck.

I had the same problem there a couple days ago, i went through my apps location settings one by one and it ended up being "the weather channel max" that was constantly doing something.

Happening to me also

Think I've narrowed it down to Navigon.

The Okcupid app has recently updated with a new locals feature and it keeps the GPS location icon in the top bar.

If you are running iOS 5 beta, then that is probably related to the Reminders.app. For some reason (probably why it's called a beta), Reminders.app uses a crapload of battery and GPS if you have a Geo-fenced reminder on there. So your best bet could be to just go in Settings -> Location Services -> and turn off permission for Reminders.app. That's what had happened to me a while back.

This. I deleted it and downloaded Fahrenheit. Much better.
