Summary
GPS works on phone with Magic Earth, but when I ask to find my location in Gas Buddy App, it can not connect to the GPS. I can put in an address or zip code, and Gas Buddy can pull up the map, working fine. It just can not connect to the GPS for some reason.
Steps to reproduce
Install Gas Buddy, and ask it to find gas prices at current location.
What is the current behavior?
Get messages, Waiting for GPS, then Connecting to services Select find gas, it searches and the gives the message, "Unable to Find your Location Something went wrong and we are temporarily unable to find your location. TRY AGAIN"
What is the expected correct behavior?
Should pull up a list of local gas stations and their prices.
