Good stuff.

Call the dialog without Google services?

I think that's a bit difficult; I'll look into it.

Thank you for your contribution!

This will not be possible as it uses the Google Play Services Location Settings API

But as fallback you just could open the location settings for the user to enable gps manually

Btw. I would rename method RequestLocationSettings to OpenLocationSystemDialog
