User warning to activate Location Services for Badger Watcher app #41

Closed kamac13 closed 2 years ago

Select Sett interference
Select Badger diggers
Select 'No' to 'Is someone interfering with the sett right now?'
Mark location on map
Select 'Evidence of badger activity at the sett'
Select 'Take photos or videos using Another device'
Select 'Show time, date and location'.

The screen only shows the time and date, but not the location. In a different app on my phone, the GPS location is correctly found. _**

EDIT: this was due to Location Services on my iPhone not being switched on for the Badger Watch app even though they are switched on for other purposes. So not a defect.

A suggestion might be to include a note to users to activate Location Services for the Badger Watch app.

Looking into this on iPhone

Believed to be fixed now, plus this screen now displays "waiting for GPS", "please enable location" etc instead of just blanking
