Bug Description

Tapping the circle icon in the top bar (no idea what it means) turns it into a circle with a dot in. It can't be turned back. Still no idea what it means.

This is the feedback that we received from Stuart, Daniel Wood and a few other users. We need to acknowledge that this icon is confusing and doesn't explain very well to the user what it is doing.

So complicate icon. I think there is not a popular icon for this action :(
Anyway, who after use uNav 30 minutes doesn't know what the icon is? :)
Maybe improve tutorial?

I think we could start by using the "gps" icon already used in Ubuntu Touch. Check it out at http://icons.mivoligo.com/. I think that might be a good start.
