As stated, the application doesn't get to decide whether location
services are on or off. It can only request them or not request them.
Also, the user can override an application's request for location info.

Thanks. I filed feed-back against the docs, because
the info on how to positively stop the iPhone from
transmitting GPS location data to the cell is not
there.
Huh? That's because it's a user setting. And a sensitive one, too.
I would not expect (or want) an application to turn off GPS for the
device on its own. I wouldn't want an app to be able to turn any
device-wide features off (or on) without asking.
If it has to ask, why not just let the user manage it in the
settings? Instead, the OS prompts to allow the app access to the
sensitive feature / service if it's available. This is by design.
