Help Needed Please

[laraiza]

There's a weird icon next to my device location icon and it looks like a satellite dish emitting a signal. I downloaded the places directory and its suddenly showing up but the problem is when i exit the app the icon keeps blinking and im worried it will be a serious drain on my battery. The icon is not listed in the owners guide. Can someone please tell me what this icon is and how to turn it off or if it is draining my battery.

Thanks Leo

Its been "ON" for about an hour now will it go off or does it stay on forever?

click menu>settings>my location and uncheck enable gps satellites that should turn it off

If that does not work turn back on GPS and open up google maps and let it fix your location then exit.
