Accepted Answer

What to do if your GPS dot won't activate and turn blue.

Savvy navvy has integrated GPS, just like Google maps.

You can click the black circle with the black dot in the middle (on the right hand side of your app). When you press this icon the dot should turn blue and hone in on your active location.

If this is happening then it may be that your device's location settings are not activated and therefore your device is preventing savvy navvy from being allowed to see your location. Here is how to resolve this:

If you are trying to adjust the location settings from the savvy navvy app, take the following steps:

For iOS:

Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > savvy navvy > set ALLOW LOCATION ACCESS to While Using the App.
