Turn on Location Services and GPS

OrangeQC automatically includes your GPS location when you perform inspections, complete checklists, and log visits.

When you first install and launch the OrangeQC app, a pop-up will ask if you'd like to turn on location services. Tap to allow. For more privacy, you can also choose to only allow location services when the app is running.

If you've previously disabled location services, you'll need to turn this feature back on manually.
