A brief search on the web led me to a better explanation than my own:

Starting with iOS 5, you can ask the system to notify you when your location is being used.
You can find the relevant options in Preferences > Location Services System Services.

There you can choose iOS 5 services that are allowed to geolocate:

Cell Network Search
Compass Calibration
Diagnostics & Usage
Location-Based iAds
Setting Time Zone
Traffic
You can also specify whether or not to show the icon in the status bar.

Also, a grey icon in front of an application in Preferences > Location Services means that the app has used your location in the last 24 hours. If the icon is blue, the application is using it right now.
