@christocracy: @juscyllan is reporting this for us at @gigsmart. Let us know when you are able to diagnose. :-) Thank you.

I tried this. I do not see a permission request when I call .insertLocation(data) (and looking at the code, there is no reason that should occur).

Show me the exact code you're executing.
