When i turn my car off, the screen on my gps says charging even after i turn its power off. is this draining my car battery?? or do i need to unplug it every time i turn my car off?

I can use the car battery ( 12 V ) to supply the power but how would I go about to getting that power to the 3 portable devices that’ll be installed in the car ? GPS module takes 12v, microcontroller takes 5V and modem takes 3V.
Need a voltage regulator of some sort but not sure how to go about it.. ANY suggestions would be of great help.
