Thank you for sharing this app.
Sometimes an exact GPS location is not needed and a coarser location is good enough.
If turning on GPS was made to be optional, the app would be useful in such cases (possibly warning of reduced precision).
It's not about the permission, although this might be a valid concern for others, perhaps.
The main annoyance is having to turn on GPS, and having to turn it off again afterwards to avoid battery drain. Worse if you forget to. Too much juggling back and forth settings screens each time, IMHO.
Often, coarse location can be more than enough. For instance, in WiFi crowded areas in such as cities, where WiFi-assisted location gives 10m accuracy, would be fine enough.
The only concern I see might be users wanting highest accuracy forgetting to turn on GPS. A message warning them about this and linking to the location settings might solve it, though.

@nicolas-raoul ping. Is this project still maintained or has it some fork? If not, I hope you don't mind me suggesting https://adoptoposs.org/ to avoid this cool project and its efforts to be wasted.
Would you mind creating a new GitHub issue about the suggestion to find a new maintainer using https://adoptoposs.org?
If I understand correctly, https://adoptoposs.org requires a current maintainer to register. There are currently 4 maintainers, you may want to mention them in the issue.
