Thanks for the suggestions. I also taxed Canon with the problem and it now seems to be solved. They said to set the Location access info in the iPhone to 'Always'.

I just checked and my app was also set to while using, which is standard for me. If this is the permanent fix fromCanon, they should put a warning in very big letters when you start the app, heck they should not allow the app to run if this is not set correctly otherwise anyone not reading this thread and using the app is in for a nasty surprise.

Actually it seems entirely logical to set to “always” and this is the way many other tracking apps work, eg SkiTrax, Strava etc if you want a continuous log kept while they are running in the background.  But yes it would be useful to have a prompt to remind the user.
