Exploroz Traveller app (minor) bug

Yes you need location services turned on as it is primarily a navigation app and is always looking for your current position when the map is opened it shows your current position.

You're lucky. I can't get the app to do anything useful except show the help screens. When I select to see a map it crashes, and I can't see any of the place or trek lists. And I've got location services turned on! I'm having this problem on both an iPad Air and an iPhone 6 with iOS 9.3 and am now using version 1.6.15 of the app on the iPhone.

Wicket,

I have added support for no location service to the pending 1.7.2 release. As the app was really designed to be a navigator style system I setup the system heavily to use your current position as the start point for all distance and direction calculations for everything, including the ability to show maps or places on the screen. So to resolve this what we have done is set a default position being Alice Springs (not really but close enough to the centre of the country). So when you run the app without location services it will just use Alice Springs as the point you are currently at. This will allow you to use the system with Location Services disabled.

Whilst writing this I guess one minor update to this could be to keep the last recorded position as your default location when you next boot regardless of location service status. I will make it work like that I think - which is the best of all worlds.

This next release is waiting in hold at the moment to allow some testing to occur on Android devices as I have made a major change on this platform due to some issues with two Samsung models. It should not be too far away.

Thanks for the feedback.
