Turning on Location Services for iPhone, iPad
Location Services need to be enabled within 811spotter to allow you to zoom into the map where you are currently standing.
Location Services need to be enabled for the Camera app so that photos are all 'geotagged' with the location the photo was taken. 811spotter displays a camera pin on the map at the location the photo was taken.
If Location Services is not enabled for the Camera app, 811spotter will assume that the location of the photo is the current location of the phone at the time the photo is uploaded.

The first time 811spotter needs to access your Location Services information, you'll get a notification asking for permission. Choose one of these options:
