NoMapTips has been marked end of life. While it remains available, the module has served its purpose and is no longer being updated. Google has added equivalent functionality built directly into Maps. Happy navigating! Another workaround.
... Annnnd we're back.

Introduction
The location accuracy tips dialog in Google Maps is annoying. You know what you're doing. Ignore that thing. Once and for all.
Featured on XDA Xposed Tuesday!

Features
- You'll never see that horrible thing again. Even if your GPS is off.
- You'll forget you installed it.
- Theoretically less likely to crash your car...
Installation
- Make certain you're on a supported version of Google Maps.
- Install the module by a) searching for it in the Xposed Installer or b) manually through the APK provided on GitHub or the Xposed website.
- Enable the module in the Xposed Installer.
- Reboot.
- Give it a spin! A very easy way to make this dialog appear is to turn off all location services and disable WiFi. Then tap the location accuracy tips preference in the Settings. No dialog? Good.
Changelog
See the GitHub repository for the definitive changelog.
Code:v2.2-31c370b - 22 Apr 2015 - Stable ------------ This release adds support for Maps 9.7.1! Please note that while the "optimal location" toast notification will no longer appear you should continue to be location tip free.
Code:v2.1-8fa0a32 - 21 Mar 2015 - Stable ------------ Google Maps will now always report optimal location accuracy settings. Even if all possible location services are off. Goodbye dialogs!
Code:v2.0-b0c9edc - 21 Mar 2015 - Stable ------------ NoMapTips is back! Unfortunately. What's new? * Support for Google Maps 9.5.1 and 9.6.0 * New default Android icon * Continued support for Maps 8, 9.0, and 9.1 for those of you (none?) still using them.
Code:v1.4-42f1ab2 - 26 Nov 2014 - Stable ------------ Support for Google Maps 9.1
Code:v1.3-4c4e802 - 14 Nov 2014 - Stable ------------ NoMapTips now supports both Google Maps 8 and Maps 9 users. Feel free to upgrade. :)

Code:v1.1-a87b471 - 06 Nov 2014 - Stable ------------ Updated for Google Maps 9. Do not update this module if you have not yet received the Google Maps update. Easiest way to tell? Material Design. :)

FAQ
Q: NoMapTips isn't working for me. What can I do?
A: Oh dear. If you're familiar with GitHub, creating a new issue is a great option. If not, posting right in this thread isn't a bad idea either. The more information you include in your bug report the easier (and faster) it will be for me or someone else to help. What kind of info? Your Xposed log (found in the Xposed Installer), your version of Google Maps, your version of NoMapTips and your version of Android is often enough to get started. Please be kind and courteous to anyone offering assistance.
Q: How about a new feature?
A: NoMapTips is great, if I do say so myself, which I do, because it does one particular thing and does it very well with zero unnecessary overhead. Unless the feature request is "hide some more map tips" I'd have to say no.

Excellent job on this module. I've accidentally run over 3 different children with my car over the past 2 months thanks to fiddling with this stupid prompt when beginning my route. Often so raged from it I don't even care and keep going. Fix your **** Google, for the sake of my car and the children.
