See also bug 1509260. I think what is most useful to know is not whether the GPS is active, but whether a position has been obtained (regardless of whether it was obtained via GPS or cellular triangulation). Well, ideally I'd like the indicator to report the precision as well: it would be cool for example if the dot in the center of the icon were green if the position has a high accuracy, and yellow if it's in the range of hundreds of metres.
