Unknown home screen icon

[Robbyswife25]

I just got a blackberry tour and there is an icon on the home screen I don't know what it is.  It is right under the signal meter.  It is a circle with 2 lines going through making a "t".  Then it has 3 ")))" behind it.  Any help would be appreciated.

When you scroll over it what does it say? When you click on it what does it do?

The circle with the lines through it is your GPS icon.  The 3 ))) indicate that your location is on and you are free to use applications like BB maps or Google maps with your GPS chip.  If you turn off "location aiding" those 3 ))) will disappear and you'll only be able to be tracked by emergency services.  It will say 911 only.  It's all in your GPS options.  Welcome ot the forums.
