Driving Direction GPS Error - It appears that device location information is unavailable. This feature will not work without location information.

I have a map location screen and when I click on the driving direction link on the map screen I'm getting the following error: It appears that device location information is unavailable. This feature will not work without location information. I added the locate device button and that works properly. When clicked on that button the first time it prompts to allow the app access to the device location. I answered YES and the driving directions still does not work. I even added the GPS settings screen so I could make sure it was set to YES allow device location. I have look through the v1.5 documentation and can't find anything specifically related to this error message. Anyone else experience this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks. Wayne

Hi Wayne...maybe make sure the Turn on GPS setting is checked in the Core Settings? Havn't heard this before, the GPS stuff is usually super-reliable. You could also have a look at the console with the app running to see what it reports - maybe some clues.

David - Thank you! The problem was that the GPS Core Settings was set to NO I changed that to YES and it works great. I forgot all about checking the Core Settings and obviously didn't read enough of the documentation.
