Crash if GPS is turned off #15

Open dreaming-augustin opened 9 years ago

dreaming-augustin commented 9 years ago

I've been using TTT for a few months without any major problem (no crash!). But two days ago, I experienced the very same symptoms as described here https://github.com/redfish64/TinyTravelTracker/issues/2 : the app would exit/crash straight away, as soon as I try to open it. I tried to reboot the phone, etc, as someone tried above, but to no avail. TTT was no longer working.

Then I noticed that somehow I had GPS turned off. I turned it on and TTT works again, as it did before.

1) At the very least, the app should be accessible even with the GPS turned off, (e.g. to browse the maps and view past trips).

2) It would be a very good idea to warn the user that GPS if off (add a non-obtrusive warning somewhere on the main screen).

3) Ideally, the app would offer a simple, in-app way to turn GPS on.
