Default [Q] Useless apps running in background...

I noticed that each time I boot the phone some apps start automatically. I mean Mapps, Latitude, Places and Navigation. All of them installed automaticaly when installed Maps. How to switch off those apps running in background? I want to use them only when I need them

You can use Gemini app manager to edit app autoruns and stop them running at boot.
