Enabling true north doesn't work #42

Open MarkWieczorek opened 1 year ago

MarkWieczorek commented 1 year ago

When I enable true north on the application, I get an notice on the main screen "waiting for location update" that never goes away. In the system settings, it states that the application has permission to access location while in use, but it also shows that the application never accessed the location.

I am using a custom ROM with microG.

Android 10 e/OS 1.11

There is a chance that this problem is solved with the latest version 1.12.0. Previously the app only requested your coarse loaction, which gets provided by the network location provider. And it seems this does not work on your system. Now you can allow access to either the fine or the coarse location. The fine location gets provided by the regular GPS provider, which should then hopefully provide a location on your system too.

Love the app. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Am having the same issue on version 1.14.1 using GrapheneOS with no microG nor Google Play Services. I was having the same issue in OSMAND until I went into the setting and set the Location source from Google Play Services to Android API. Not sure if this helps in any way, but thought I should share.
