Updated to the latest truckers path version and it wants access to location all the time instead of "only when app is in use". An error pops up if you're browsing and trip planning and hit the button that brings the map back to your location now.
This is new isn't it? Im pretty sure I wouldn't agree to let ####ing truckers path app to get my location everywhere always and not notice it before.
Truckers path update wants location "all the time" now?

Yup. The CCP is stepping up their game.
JC1971, D.Tibbitt, Kyle G. and 1 other person Thank this. -
I'll delete it if they force that nonsense but I just double checked it on my phone and permission is denied for location access. It also didn't even ask for my data. Maybe check your permission settings in your phone.
Savor the Flavor, Pamela1990 and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
Just checked mine and it still works like normal and I only allow location while using the app
Pamela1990 Thanks this. -
It’s become useless for scales. I swear the DOT must be calling them closed, when open. It’s happened a few times lately.
Bean Jr. and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
Blagoje, Bean Jr., Savor the Flavor and 4 others Thank this.

I deleted that app long ago. I used it for the scales only, but you have to rely on others that’s using that app. Most are not aware and the accuracy of checking for the scales whether open or close where hardly accurate. Then with there updates, they wanted more 411, so I just deleted that app.
Bean Jr., ProfessionalNoticer and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
I still find it useful. I don't need to know whether a scale is open or closed until I get there, what I like to do is plan where they are ahead and be ready. I use it for rest areas too. For that reason alone it's better than nothing. All of the rest area finder apps suck.
I do not like it constantly trying to peddle me navigation services.Speed_Drums, Bean Jr. and N00bLaLoosh Thank this. -
I really only use it for truck parking locations
Speed_Drums, 86scotty, Bean Jr. and 1 other person Thank this. -
Apps gone downhill drastically since it was sold. Shame that despite that it's still the best app out there, even if just for seeing what rest areas and truck stops are along your route.

I haven’t updated that app in a looong time. If it stops working because of that then I’ll just delete it.
Bean Jr. Thanks this.
