Anyone else having a their iPhone throw fits with the use my location option? As of a few days ago I could click "here" get my coordinates and search that area. Now it gives me "cannot determine location" I did upgrade to iOS 10 a week or so ago, but not sure why that would change anything.

Drives me nuts since I wander a lot without much pre-planning so while printing my clues and knowing where I'm going is good, it just doesn't happen to often. I find myself somewhere, see if there's a box, and chase box.

My wife and I have been having this problem as well.

We both have iPhones, mine upgraded to iOS10, but she is still on 9. It doesn't seem to matter if we are on wifi or cell network, the odd thing though is that the location will still work on our iPad, unfortunately it is only wifi so doesn't do a ton of good out and about. Any help would be appreciated as we tend to use this feature quite a bit as we drive around.

Thanks, Scott (Archinerd)

I miss the AQ location based search too. The Home part works on my Note 4 but the Here part doesn't work. Both still work on the Note 2. Luckily Box Radar has been working most of the time now.

Lo & behold - location is working today on iPhone. Clicking on <Here> next to Location puts in current GPS coordinates and pulls up all boxes in search area. Hallelujah! No update from Apple - who knows, just happy to have this back. So much easier to find boxes on the go, especially when our route changes - for us, frequently!
