GPS Troubleshooting- User Denied Location

Problem:

GPS Status screen reports 'User denied location' on  iPad/iPhone

Solution: 

This error message means that you need to give your phone or tablet permission to access the GPS. Below are instructions on how to do this.

1. Open your phone's 'settings' screen. Then go to 'Privacy', then 'Location Services'
2. Turn on 'Location Services' if it is not on already (it is probably already on)
3. Under location services you will find a list of apps. Find your browser in this list. It is probably called 'Safari' or 'Chrome'
4. Set the Allow Location Access to 'While Using the App'
5. Switch back to your browser and reload your Diamond Maps map page
6. Click the 'GPS' button on the right side of the screen
7. The browser should now ask you if you want to allow this web page to access your location. Answer 'Yes'.

Note: If you previously answered 'No' to the above question then you may need to reset your phone's warnings in order to have an opportunity to change your answer to yes. To do this, go to Settings, General, Reset Location Warnings/Reset Location and Privacy.
