Location services are configurable per-app in iOS 6, so you can have Maps allowed to use them and Camera forbidden.

(Settings -> Privacy -> Location).

Android can do that too, I believe. I have a Windows Phone. Settings aren't that granular.

A Windows Phone App which uses the Location Service is required to have a setting to enable/disable the use of this service[1].

It's probably not as comfortable as the solutions of iOS/Android, but it gets the job done.
