Do you have any source for this?

I'm pretty sure wifi needs to be on for location assistance (Google Maps complains about this all the time).

From 4.3 you can have Wifi "off" but still allow location through WiFi.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I wasn't aware that this was the case on Android. I've now turned my WiFi "completely" off.

But it always asks about doing that while setting up the phone.
