Removing all gps features

Just a heads up. Both app stores have made it way too painful for me to deal with their rules about location permissions (or, frankly, any permissions). The fact that the company that is built around tracking our every move keeps rejecting my app because it violates their rules is deeply ironic,

Re: Removing all gps features

I really like the GPS feature of Subsurface but I capture my GPS fixes in a really convoluted way using the old app, I’ve been thinking of trying using the current mobile app to do this but I’m a dinosaur and once I’ve found something that works for me I stick to it. I personally won’t miss thi

Re: Removing all gps features

I use the GPS feature as well when logging my dives, but if it is more convenient to remove it, I’m sure I’ll be able to live with it. ;) Met vriendelijke groeten, Martin de Weger > Op 11 sep. 2021, om 19:07 heeft Jason Bramwell via subsurface > het volgende geschreven: > > I really lik

Re: Removing all gps features

So in summary: While this is not a bad feature, few people seem to use it in its current incarnation, and other apps also seem to have trouble implementing it. So I'll rip it out and good riddance :) What would be neat would be a) for us to document on the website different ways to collect GP

Re: Removing all gps features

I did use the gps feature and applied the fixes to the dives on boat dives (Indonesia) but that was already 3-4 years ago. Haven't done any remote boat dives since. I did find it a nice feature to be able to record the exact dive (start) location. It would be nice if there was some sort of comparab

Re: Removing all gps features

[ You replied to m er personally, which isn't very useful ] It's not the gpx import, it's the integrated "subsurface uses the phone gps" thing. It requires gps permissions on the phone, which is part of the problem (the other part is that neither me nor Dirk actually use it any more, so it gets n

Re: Removing all gps features

Hi All, I use this feature all the time, only yesterday in-fact. Yet to load dives from yesterday that will be done today sometime. Also lots of other people I know really like the GPS tagging but of course not a lot of boat diving going on in the last 18 months, 99.9% of these people aren't on t

Re: Removing all gps features

The more I think about it the less I like the idea of leaving it in. The code has already atrophied badly because Linus and I no longer use it. And the sad reality is that things that I don't use don't get tested and fixed in the mobile apps (with very few exceptions). I can tell you for a fact t

Re: Removing all gps features

I know many people that use gps features and also I use it. But on the other hand I fully understand so ditching the code seems logic. Integrating get location from picture on mobile seems the way to go. On Sun, Sep 12, 2021, 03:20 Dirk Hohndel via subsurface < subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org> w

On iOS I use Rego app to mark places. It can export to Dropbox and I get GPS coordinates from it. Alberto Il giorno dom 12 set 2021 alle 08:56 Chirana Gheorghita Eugeniu Theodor via subsurface ha scritto: > I know many people that use gps features and also I use it. But on the > other hand I fu

Ahh yes... the usual experience... time for my rant of how much I hate maintaining all these builds I honestly try to keep things working with the GitHub actions, but it's just so unbelievably frustrating and tedious. So, let's see, how do I currently build Subsurface-mobile for iOS... git c

Re: Removing all gps features

For those interested, here's what I have at this point. It disables the GPS related features in the mobile apps. https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface/pull/3324 I have submitted an app based on this to the Google Play store. And of course

Re: Removing all gps features

The new Android app has been approved for the beta channel - it should come with a nice big warning that it removes the GPS features. I'll push that to TestFlight for iOS as well this week. /D > On Sep 12, 2021, at 8:04 PM, Dirk Hohndel via subsurface > wrote: > > For those interested, here'
