Location services

Yep , and it is a bloody nuisance! I don’t want to have my location services turned on either when I don’t need it.
What developers could do is have another window pop up and say :
“Don’t show this again” by ticking a box.

You can do it like this:

Accept the permission needed by the app which is "Use Location Services - Always" but then go into your Apple device settings and turn off Location Services.

That will stop the pop-up message the iOS system is delivering to you.
You have full control of turning off your Location services to your device so do it that way.

PS: the use of location services in the Traveller app is so that the app can RECEIVE your location to display where you are on the map. It is not SENDING your location anywhere. The Apple approval process is especially stringent on checking how apps use your Privacy and as of December 2020 no app could be approved without passing their new Privacy checks. V5.0.7 - the latest version of Traveller was released in January 2021 so you can be confident that ExplorOz Traveller has passed.

There is an option for Members to use the Tracker - when this is enabled, you authorize the syncing of your tracking to leave your device and be sent to your online account. The purpose of this feature is to backup your data in case your device is damaged and/or to allow you to save your tracking and keep a reference of past trips - saving creates Track Logs. There are plenty of privacy defaults and options for you to manage all this if you have concerns. .....

By default your home address is setup as a Geofence which puts up a privacy perimeter around your home - you can adjust this to offset it, increase/decrease and you can create as many Geofences as you require for other sensitive areas.

Also by default, the Tracker is set to Private, which means no one but you has access to view the Active Tracking as it syncs to your account. If it's Private, you can still send a link to family/friends with a password to let them view it which will require they enter a Security Key password to open it.

After your trip has completed you have the option to clear the active tracking and save it or delete it. If you save, you then have the option of what to do with the tracking data.
Status options are : Locked, Shareable, or Open. Only Open status Track Logs can be viewed on the website yet they retain the privacy of Geofences so that is shown is a line drawn on the map along the course of the road/track you travelled. You can also edit the route line - by trimming the start/end if you wish to cut out parts etc.

Furthermore - the Tracking doesn't identify you - the tracking only shows the name you have assigned to your device - by default this says the name of the app (Traveller or Tracker) and the platform (i.e Android or iOS or SPOT etc) and then in fine print it gives the name of the user - this shows your ExplorOz screen name (ie. for you it shows FSH00).

This is very high level of privacy and gives you total control the whole way through.
