With OTA 10.1 on my BQ E5 GPS did turn itself on every now and so on - without me turning locationservices on, that was still off. I could not find a pattern to it at the time. That was of course reducing battery lifetime.
On OTA 10.1 the GPS on/off button was still available under the battery settings, that's how I found out about it.
With OTA 11 this button has disappeared, so I do sometimes wonder if internally GPS is still turned on occasionally (and apps could be able to use location-services?) but now I do not have any way to find out.
So, yes with the indicator showing GPS usage that would solve that problem as well.
