In your application you should try and use the Location service (GeoCoordinateWatcher), you should then check the Permission property, if this is set to Denied then this means that the user has, externally to your application, disabled location services on their phone therefore this is all you need to be concerned with. You can display a friendly message telling the user that certain features within your application will not be available but you leave the decision, to enable location services, up to the user.

The following article details the watcher_StatusChanged event handler, which includes the above check :-
