The apps all worked fine with the maps showing user location, driving directions etc. Suddenly all the apps are not showing device location and I'm getting the error message saying that the device is not reporting it's location. It's not just my device that this is happening on. Has something in Google changed? Does anyone have any ideas? thanks, Liz Title Comments I have 3 Android apps, one version 1.4 and the others are 2.0.

And by the way, posted your simple explanation re location in my Buzztouch & Google Maps Guide Fred Comments Thanks, but I'm not worthy of such a title.

ehwright Aspiring developer Posts: 57 Reg: Feb 21, 2012 Perth 2,370	05/31/12 04:45 PM (13 years ago) Thanks guys, I had followed all your steps in the guide and had it working perfectly. Put the app into production, still had it working perfectly, and then suddenly lost the location again. This also happened to my app that was produced in version 1.4 which those fixes didn't even apply to. Fred, the app allows location in the control panel. It's more than one app by the way, I have checked them all. Liz Comments Thanks guys, I had followed all your steps in the guide and had it working perfectly.

Device now showing. I know that it wasn't just my phone yesterday, I had others check it. So could it just have been a google thing?

ehwright Aspiring developer Posts: 57 Reg: Feb 21, 2012 Perth 2,370	05/31/12 05:21 PM (13 years ago) So, the location is displaying on one device, with maps etc. On another device, we have the location coming up now, but the map is nowhere to be seen. Is there anywhere we can check to see what is going on?
