App Permissions

The Global Mapper Mobile Android application will request the following permissions:

• Approximate Location (Network-based)
• Precise Location (GPS and network based)
• Read/modify the contents of attached external storage
• Full file and media access for device internal storage
• Full Network Access
• Microphone Access

If location permissions are not given, the app will not be able to use the GPS mode to display current location, or create features from any of the GPS options.

SD card access is not required, but is recommended for storage of Global Mapper Mobile Package files (*.GMMP).

Network access is used in the application to view the help files and other web links in the application info. It is also used when loading online data sources.

To share from the device via email, the setup of the default mail application on the device is required.
