How to: keep your GPS always on

When delivering, GoPeople needs to track you at all times. To track you, this means you've got to make sure your GPS is turned on. 

Importantly, GPS determines how long you've been in one location, if you're on time (or running early or late) and whether you've followed your route.

So if you wish to raise a Dispute (such as a Waiting Fee or EWT accuracy), you need to have your location's services turned on so we can investigate.

GPS is also used to give you jobs closer to you or your home.

If you don't have your GPS on, you might not be able to see any jobs on the 'Jobs' screen on the app.
