GPS Icon Issue When Using Significantly Changing Location and User Experience

I developed an application that uses the "Significantly Change Location" feature. I noticed that after users download my application, they quickly seek to remove it because they see a white GPS icon on their iPhone and they think that it will drain the battery of their phone.

I wonder if there is any solution or suggestion, it’s also interesting if Apple will do anything about the GPS icon when using the “Significantly Change Location” feature on iOS 6 or future versions.

on Android, Android has a feature where you can configure the alarm manager to wake the application for certain periods of time. This will solve the problem if there is something similar on iOS (possibly iOS 6).

Thank.

This will be a non-negotiable aspect of using location services on an iOS device. Apple wants to inform users when their location is used so that they can make informed decisions. So overriding or hiding this location icon will not happen. (exclusion from prison)

In my opinion, you have a couple of options to help yourself.
