Now it seems this is working without the location services "enabled"?? My application is repeater-START: https://sourceforge.net/projects /repeater-start/ Steps to see issue: 1) install Repeater-START and click the locate me button circle to the left. It goes to your rough location on map. 2) Go to settings, privacy, location, note that location is turned off!?
