Help Satellite dish wont go?

When I use (for example) Ordnance Survey maps the little satellite dish icon comes up on the top bar, but when I close the app it stays there. Is this costing me money and what's it doing? Is there something running in the background?

It's GPS, it should disappear eventually. You can turn it off yourself by heading to Settings -> Location & Security and unchecking the GPS box.

It won't cost you money either.
