Will not allow usage unless you permit all of the time access. I only want while using the app but that is not an option so this app is immediately suspect. Delete it ASAP.

Select "Allow all the time" make the app run in the background. If you select "Allow only while using the app", the app stop logging when the you switch to other apps. It will resume logging when you switch back to this app. If you still have problems using the app, please send us an email peterhohsy@gmail.com

Logs NMEA location but won't log depth. My OpenCPN logs depth just fine on my WiFi gateway, but this app won't do it.
