Google Maps Can't find My Location?

Hi, I have a problem when user click from my detail page this URL http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=&sensor=TRUE&daddr=<?php echo $longitude; ?>,<?php echo $latitude; ?> after that it open google maps inside my app and define My location and coordinates of listing page. This is ok till user click to get directions and after that My location loading and nothing happen. Before that I have The Spinning Wheel Of Death (Android) problem and I solved with this http://myskylla.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/the-spinning-wheel-of-death-android/ but it can be connected with this problem? This is 1.5 version and app is for Android.

Hello, Are you using a simulator for this? If so, you won't be able to get a location because GPS doesn't work in the simulator. If you are using a live device, then make sure GPS is turned on in the core settings of your BT control panel for the app, and that it's actually working on your device. Hopefully this isn't a new v1.5 app. BT v2.0 is much, much better! Mark

Hi Mark, I use on devices (2 of them) and if I go manually to google maps it works fine but when I go via my app I have that problem. And yes my mistake it is BT 2.0

In app option for GPS is on, also all option for location and GPS is ON at mobile devices so this is not a issue

Hmmm. Not quite sure! I usually use the Location Map plugin for doing these things on Android (which I know is broken at the moment due to the Android changes). I'll see if I can play around with this a bit and see what I can figure out. Mark
