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 While it remains available, the module has served its purpose and is no longer being updated.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

Installation
  1. Make certain you're on a supported version of Google Maps.
  2. 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.
  3. Enable the module in the Xposed Installer.
  4. Reboot.
  5. 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.

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.

If you made this due to a reddit post on /r/xposed, that was me, and I thank you. You're awesome.

I do...

I always leave WiFi on anymore...

It helps locating me when I am in Philadelphia or New York City... Where GPS might not find you due to tall buildings... But there are like 10 bazillion WiFi networks

True it helps but I also don't like having my WiFi connect automatically to work. So I have to turn it off.

Just a quick note, this also turns off the dialog when the location settings are non-optimal. Like battery saver mode (or GPS being off completely). I could differentiate between the two but I assume you know what you're doing. ;)

Haven't installed it yet but hope it works. Keeping WiFi on is a not well thought out option to use maps. I can't begin to list how many networks that I've used that require web authentication in order to use their WiFi network. I can't begin to say how frustrating it is when I'm driving, your phone picks up one of these saved networks, tries to connect and gets no internet connection. Looking forward to trying it out

Now if only it is possible to turn off the "feature" that disconnects you from a WiFi network (e.g. WiFi at Starbucks, Xfinity hotspots, wholefoods, Lowe's, Ikea, home depot), telling you that it might not be stable before you even have a chance to try and authenticate through a webpage

Keep up the good work!

Thanks but not an available option in my 4.3 Root 66 rom

Oh, stock then? It's probably some rom-specific code/app that I wouldn't have access to. Unless someone with your phone can take a look the only other fix would be to install a new rom, which may not be possible. Sorry.

Yeah, stock with root injected. I would go with a different SGS3 Rom if I knew of a good one that worked work t-mobile WiFi calling

    v2.0-b0c9edc

    NoMapTips is back, ladies and gentlemen. As of Google Maps 9.5.1 there is an incredibly annoying "tip" whenever you tap the compass / "locate me" button that looks something like this:
    NewTipsDialog.png

    If you tap cancel so it will not change your location settings you will be refused the functionality you requested. This is even worse than before! This dialog could be other places but I have not checked. Google Maps wants to force you to turn on WiFi even when it's off.

    Please note that there is still a (different) dialog if you do not have your location settings set to "High accuracy" or "Device only." I have chosen not to remove this dialog for now because Maps is pretty much useless if you do not have either of those options set. Especially navigation. In fact, generally speaking, you probably do want one of those two location settings activated while using Maps. The dialog I disabled is for WiFi and interferes with otherwise unhindered usages of the application.

    The above is no longer true as of v2.1. :)

    After installing NoMapTips, tap the Location accuracy tips option in the settings. You'll be greeted by this lovely little message assuming you have normal location services on:

    Enjoy!

    I had no idea this was so highly requested. I never spent any time in /r/xposed until today. The notification just really started to piss me off. :p Good to see others find it useful.
