This option will allow the SuperDeker App to use your GPS on your phone to automatically to give your location. When you select this option, the following pop-up will show asking for permission, shown below.
MORE INFO
Please visit the following link for more information from Apple about Location Services in iOS.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203033
Some apps ask to use your location only while the app is in use. An app is considered "in use" when you’re actively using it in the foreground, or when it is using location in the background, in which case a blue pill will display in your status bar.
If you grant an app While In Use permission, the app may ask you for permission to use your location when it is in the background.
When you allow an app to use your location in the background, your device will remind you from time to time that an app is using your location and will display those locations on a map. You'll also be asked if you want to continue to allow the app to use your location in the background.
You can tap Allow Once to let an app access Location Services data only for one session (One Time). If you close and then re-open the app and it tries to access your location again, it will ask for your permission again. Apps won't use your location until they have asked for your permission, and you grant permission.
You can change your mind anytime and update your preferences from Settings < Privacy < Location Services.
Enter Country, State, City and Zip Code
If you choose this option you will need to select your Country, State, City and Zip Code manually.
We will go through the Turn on location service > Allow White Using App option for our example.
