    I have an icon in my status bar at the top of my screen. I think its for my gps or maps. I have only run BB maps once and Google maps like twice just to try it out. I have used the alt and back button shortcut to try and close them but neither program is the list. Just wondering how to turn it off. I'm worried it may be using my battery.

    If it looks like a target or circle with a cross in it, that's your GPS icon to indicate it's in 911 only mode. If it has radio waves coming off it, that indicates it's set to location on.

    Ok good. So does that mean it is using a lot of batt. Because I know if things like gps or bluetooth are running in the backround its sucks the batt. There are no raido waves. Just the circle with a cross.

    No extra battery drain when in 911 only. It is only accessed by emergency personnel during emergency situations. Otherwise it isn't constantly broadcasting your location.
