Does anyone know if there is any way to get rid of this message from coming up every time I turn off my wifi and use a location aware app? I find it quite annoying and when I leave the house I often turn off my wifi.

Only via jailbreak with the NoAnnoyance tweak. (and probably a couple other tweaks). That's what I use.
 
Why turn off WiFi? I've tried it and it doesn't make a noticeable difference in battery life.

For me, it's not so much a battery life issue. At work, wifi is limited and some places, the signal is very weak but can still establish a connection. It would be better to temporarily turn off wifi and uses cellular until I'm back in wifi range.

Is it really that annoying? Just tap "OK" and it's gone.

When it pops up several times a day, every day, yes it gets annoying.

I agree it's very annoying. Apple is about simplicity. And for them to not have option to turn this off is stupid.
 
I also get messages such as this whenever I use an app that I have disabled Cellular Data for. I wish that there was a way to eliminate these without jailbreaking, other than enabling Cellular Data for the app.

Yeah I agree that's another annoying pop up lol
 
Since ppl don't understand unless they see it, once you have all these switched off the "Location Accuracy" popup message won't alert you anymore.

I have all of those off and the pop up still shows up.
 
I think you should have to turn on your WiFi otherwise another way is jailbreak. All the best.
