Driving Directions problem.

It says "your device has does not appear to be reporting its location?" i checked freds guide on myskylla, it i fixed the line at 593 on bt screenmap. what do i do next. this was checked on a real android device, an emulator and bluestacks. and all appear to not report location.

Did you allow GPS in the core settings? Fred

no i did not it says this though which what exactly does this mean You may want to begin tracking the device's location when the app launches. This is useful in many situations. Be sure to get the device owners consent when the app launches and honor all requests to not track a device location. It's generally best to leave this setting OFF unless you're certain end-users are aware of the purpose of you tracking their devices location. EVERY APP SHOULD PROVIDE END-USERS WITH A SETTINGS OR OPTIONS PANEL TO TURN OFF GPS TRACKING.

* Current location does not work in the Emulator (since it contains no real GPS device!) * Map tiles only seem to show up with release key used to sign and create the apk. Mark

Just want to update you guys, I got the driving directions to work using Blue Stacks, the grey tiles are still there but i know its because i didnt sign the apk yet so im not worried. @Fred just wanted to let you know driving directions work even if you didnt sign your app
