On gps status on map view

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In last versions appears a triangle on top left corner signaling the gps status 
(green for fix and so on). I think it's not very clear (I thought was a bug 
like a primary road glitch)..

I was thinking that should be moved both on the bottom border, next to the 
"center position" button.

On center position so will result three semi-transparent buttons:
Battery-Center-Gps fix status

What do you think?

I agree about the fact that the small triangle is not all that clear. I will 
definitely consider to move it in the next version.

The only thing I am afraid of in placing it near the "center position" button, 
is that the icon of the center is an android system icon, and therefore I will 
not be able to know the size it will have on different devices (system 
chooses). It would be better to place the gps-status icon somewhere else.

It could be in the same place as the battery icon? I am just afraid to fill 
everything too much. 

Comments welcome.

Luca proposed to bind the two indicators to the "tab", so that if there's the 
buttons view they are on the top, if not they are on the bottom, but yet 
visible.
So indicator1 - tab - indicator2.

A modified screenshot attached, maybe these two indicators can be more small...

Side note, on my Galaxy next there's no screen space to show the battery 
indicator (last button is the measure tool)

This has been fixed on master branch.

In the end I had to do it as the screenshot attached, since there is a new 
button (to query spatialite layers) that needed also space.

The gps status is shown through the lower border.
