Great app but since I've updated Android to OS 10 it seems like it will not send tracking location pings. I seem to get the initial one and then nothing else. I tried taking off the battery optimisation and allowing access to location all the time and same issue.

Very handy app, thanks very much for the update to get map integration working again, it looks and works very nicely. I like that when tracking an object in map mode there are two little buttons at the bottom allowing directions or navigate to functionality, that is neat. 73

App is better but still buggy. Map doesn't auto locate. Displays partial script string in operator info when clicking on callsign. But otherwise seems to work alright.
