Hi - whenever I use CanalPlan the program ask to use my location - but states I must go to Settings and turn it on. I have checked Settings several times an Location is definitely turned on. However, I did notice that CanalPlan is not listed in the programs that have permission to use Location. Am I missing something?

Thanks - Simon.

Thanks for the prompt reply!
I'm using MS Edge - came with Windows 10.

OK I'll power up my windows 10 instance when I get home and have a look at it.

I got this at the bottom all the time

So I went in and turned on location services (I'd turned them off)

and it still did it until I set it so Edge can use location

Then it went away

Glad we got it fixed... I don't use Edge at all - and I only boot into Windows occasionally.

Is it worth copying a bit of this to the help pages?

Where do I put images so they get displayed in the wiki help?

I believe it's anywhere you like (so somewhere under canal/images would be good) and then put the path in the {{...}} tag. Will try to check and let you know later.

Just checked. Either a local url (start one level down) or a full one. So

{{../images/icons/go.png}} or {{https://canalplan.org.uk/images/icons/stop.png|make a choice!}} will do it.

Excellent - will get that done this evening assuming I don't spend it on another 3 hour conference call with work....

All done - hopefully it makes sense.
