The only information the location indicator icon conveys currently is whether location detection is enabled at all, when more data could be interesting. Especially acquiring a GPS lock is often interesting, as this greatly impacts the location accuracy.

Maybe the location icon should be dimmed when nothing is using it and blink when GPS lock is being acquired, bright when the lock is fine?
