Thanks, Ricardo. I know I can go and disable location services for Google now. 
That is what I have done. However, that kind of makes Google now not nearly as 
useful as it otherwise might be. I don't understand why, if the app is not 
running, location services for it are still on. That was really my question. 
For example, I have GPS apps where the location services are enabled. But when 
those apps are not running or are not in the app switcher, location tracking 
for them is not on, and I don't see location  tracking on in the status bar. I 
would expect Google now to behave this same way. But it does not.
