WHICH PERMISSIONS DOES GEOLOGGER NEED?

+ Permission "INTERNET"

GEOLOGGER needs to download map data from OpenStreetMap servers and therefore needs access to the internet.

+ Permission "ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" and "ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"

GEOLOGGER uses osmdroid to draw its maps. osmdroid needs to know the current state of your device’s connectivity.

+ Permission "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" and "ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"

Trackbook needs accurate GPS location data to be able to record your movements. If the GPS data is not available or not accurate enough GEOLOGGER uses location data from cell tower and WiFi triangulation.
